Subject: rcu warning caused by [sched: Fix race between task_group and
 sched_task_group]

Hi Kirill,

the problem below has already been reported here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/11/505

but seems there is still no fix available upstream?
Would be good to have it soon, since this basically renders lockdep unusable.
