The commit74e4b956ebincorrectly wrapped kernfs_walk_and_get (might_sleep) under css_set_lock (spinlock). css_set_lock is needed by __cset_cgroup_from_root to ensure stable cset->cgrp_links but not for kernfs_walk_and_get. We only need to make sure that the returned root_cgrp won't be freed under us. This is given in the case of global root because it is static (cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp). When the root_cgrp is lower in the hierarchy, it is pinned by cgroup_ns->root_cset (and `current` task cannot switch namespace asynchronously so ns_proxy pins cgroup_ns). Note this reasoning won't hold for root cgroups in v1 hierarchies, therefore create a special-cased helper function just for the default hierarchy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
