| |
2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
commit 068c5cc5ac7414a8e9eb7856b4bf3cc4d4744267 upstream.
By not notifying the controller of the on-exit move back to init_css_set, we fail to move the task out of the previous cgroup's cfs_rq. This leads to an opportunity for a cgroup-destroy to come in and free the cgroup (there are no active tasks left in it after all) to which the not-quite dead task is still enqueued.
