It looks to me like commit #ad676077 (device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup
internally to policy + exceptions) removed a needed rcu_read_lock().
See below for an untested patch restoring rcu_read_lock().

							Thanx, Paul

device_cgroup: Restore rcu_read_lock() protection to devcgroup_inode_mknod()

Commit ad676077 (device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to
policy + exceptions) restructured devcgroup_inode_mknod(), removing
rcu_read_lock() in the process.  However, RCU read-side protection
is required by the call to task_devcgroup(), so this commit restores
the rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().

I believe the same should be done for __devcgroup_inode_permission() as well. And we
probably can call task_devcgroup() and rcu_read_lock() after "S_ISBLK(mode) && !S_ISCHR(mode)"
checks (I guess we also need to unlock RCU on `return 0').

 |   device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptions

moved RCU read-side protection from devcgroup_inode_mknod(), which, however is required
by task_devcgroup(). Patch also add RCU read-side protection to __devcgroup_inode_permission()
function, introduced in commit ad676077.

Looks sane to me!  Dropping my patch.
