Commit 4221a9918e38b7494cee341dda7b7b4bb8c04bde "Add RCU check for find_task_by_vpid()" introduced rcu_lockdep_assert to find_task_by_pid_ns= Assertion failed in sys_ioprio_get. The patch is fixing assertion failure in ioprio_set as well. kernel/pid.c:419 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! stack backtrace: Pid: 4254, comm: iotop Not tainted Call Trace: [<ffffffff810656f2>] lockdep_rcu_dereference+0xaa/0xb2 [<ffffffff81053c67>] find_task_by_pid_ns+0x4f/0x68 [<ffffffff81053c9d>] find_task_by_vpid+0x1d/0x1f [<ffffffff811104e2>] sys_ioprio_get+0x50/0x2da [<ffffffff81002182>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b V2: rcu critical section expanded according to comment by Paul E.
