However mem_cgroup_read_stat() is called under rcu lock. get_online_cpus() can sleep. The dirty limit patches expose this BUG more readily due to their usage of mem_cgroup_page_stat() This patch address this issue as identified by lockdep and moves the hotplug protection to a higher layer. This might increase the time required to hotplug, but not by much.
