[PATCH 5.4.y 0/2] Missing cgroup RCU patches for 5.4.y

From: Siddh Raman Pant
Date: Mon Dec 02 2024 - 06:10:57 EST


5.4 doesn't have commit backported which introduces RCU for cgroup
root_list, but has a commit fixing a UAF (and thus a CVE) which depends
on it.

Thus, we need to backport the original commits. See thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/xr93ikus2nd1.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This patch series backports the requisite commits to 5.4.y, which are
picked up from the above mentioned thread.

Thanks,
Siddh
