commit a7fb0423c201ba12815877a0b5a68a6a1710b23a upstream.
Commit d23b5c577715 ("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe") adds a new rcu_head to the cgroup_root structure and kvfree_rcu() for freeing the cgroup_root.
The current implementation of kvfree_rcu(), however, has the limitation that the offset of the rcu_head structure within the larger data structure must be less than 4096 or the compilation will fail. See the macro definition of __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() in include/linux/rcupdate.h for more information.
By putting rcu_head below the large cgroup structure, any change to the cgroup structure that makes it larger run the risk of causing build failure under certain configurations. Commit 77070eeb8821 ("cgroup: Avoid false cacheline sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu") happens to be the last straw that breaks it. Fix this problem by moving the rcu_head structure up before the cgroup structure.
