Hello,

I will update this patch by following the steps below:
1)rename cgroup_subsys->fork() to cgroup_subsys->post_fork();
2)add cgroup_subsys->fork() and the cpu_cgroup_fork() callback like this:

void cpu_cgroup_fork(struct task_struct *task) {
....
p->sched_task_group = task_group(current);
__set_task_cpu(p, smp_processor_id());
if (p->sched_class->task_fork)
p->sched_class->task_fork(p);
....


3)call cgroup_subsys->fork() after cgroup_can_fork().

Do you have any suggestion?
thanks.

Zhang Qiao
