This issue can be reproduced by the following pressuse test:
1. A large number of cpuset cgroups are deleted.
2. Set cpu on and off repeatly.
3. Set watchdog_thresh repeatly.
The scripts can be obtained at LINK mentioned above the signature.
The reason for this issue is cgroup_mutex and cpu_hotplug_lock are
acquired in different tasks, which may lead to deadlock.
It can lead to a deadlock through the following steps:
1. A large number of cpusets are deleted asynchronously, which puts a
large number of cgroup_bpf_release works into system_wq. The max_active
of system_wq is WQ_DFL_ACTIVE(256). Consequently, all active works are
cgroup_bpf_release works, and many cgroup_bpf_release works will be put
into inactive queue. As illustrated in the diagram, there are 256 (in
the acvtive queue) + n (in the inactive queue) works.
2. Setting watchdog_thresh will hold cpu_hotplug_lock.read and put
smp_call_on_cpu work into system_wq. However step 1 has already filled
system_wq, 'sscs.work' is put into inactive queue. 'sscs.work' has
to wait until the works that were put into the inacvtive queue earlier
have executed (n cgroup_bpf_release), so it will be blocked for a while.
3. Cpu offline requires cpu_hotplug_lock.write, which is blocked by step 2.
4. Cpusets that were deleted at step 1 put cgroup_release works into
cgroup_destroy_wq. They are competing to get cgroup_mutex all the time.
When cgroup_metux is acqured by work at css_killed_work_fn, it will
call cpuset_css_offline, which needs to acqure cpu_hotplug_lock.read.
However, cpuset_css_offline will be blocked for step 3.
5. At this moment, there are 256 works in active queue that are
cgroup_bpf_release, they are attempting to acquire cgroup_mutex, and as
a result, all of them are blocked. Consequently, sscs.work can not be
executed. Ultimately, this situation leads to four processes being
blocked, forming a deadlock.

To fix the problem, place cgroup_bpf_release works on a dedicated
workqueue which can break the loop and solve the problem. System wqs are
for misc things which shouldn't create a large number of concurrent work
items. If something is going to generate >WQ_DFL_ACTIVE(256) concurrent
work items, it should use its own dedicated workqueue.

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.
