The rmdir,\ndeactivating the cpu controller's files, waits in kernfs_drain() for the\nwrite's active reference. The write, in scx_group_set_weight(), waits for\nthe rwsem behind the pending writer.\n\nTake cgroup_lock() first. The set_* paths take no cgroup locks inside the\nread side, so a pending write-lock then only waits for read sections that\nalways run to completion, and no dependency from the rwsem back to\ncgroup_mutex remains.",
