Subject: cgroup: INFO: suspicious RCU usage. in cgroup_name

Hi all,

While fuzzing with trinity inside a KVM tools guest running latest -next kernel
I've stumbled on the following:

[  450.180599] ===============================

The offending commit looks like "cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race".


Thanks,
Sasha
