From c378369d8b4fa516ff2b1e79c3eded4e0e955ebb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Blum Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:29 -0700 Subject: cgroups: change css_set freeing mechanism to be under RCU Changes css_set freeing mechanism to be under RCU This is a prepatch for making the procs file writable. In order to free the old css_sets for each task to be moved as they're being moved, the freeing mechanism must be RCU-protected, or else we would have to have a call to synchronize_rcu() for each task before freeing its old css_set.
