Thanks for the review. Addressing most comments one.
Some comments inline.

Done.

Unlikely, unless we have but in cgroup implementation.
It may be worth to add WARN_ON and return from here to avoid kernel crash.

It can be done, but locking semantics just becomes difficult to
review/maintain with that where alloc_cg_rpool will unlock and lock
conditionally later on.
This path will be hit anyway on first allocation typically. Once
application is warm up, it will be unlikely to enter here.
I should change if(!rpool) to if (unlikely(!rpool)).

Right. Such check is in place in rdmacg_register_device which return
EINVAL when more than 64 resources are requested.

In v5 I had wrapper around code which used to similar hiding using
get_cg_rpool and put_cg_rpool helper functions.
But Tejun was of opinion that I should have locks outside of all those
functions. With that approach, this is done.
So I think its ok. to have it this way.

Yes. I did. Same as above comment. Also this function will have to
unlock. Its usually better to lock/unlock from same function level,
instead of locking at one level and unlocking from inside the
function.
Or
I should have
cg_rpool_cond_free_unlock() for above code (check of the reference
counts and release of the rpool)?

Done.
