Well, wouldn't it be better to pull that complexity to userspace?
After all, moving tasks from a cgroup to another is not a performance
critical operation so that probably doesn't need to be all handled by
the kernel.
If one worries about concurrent clone/fork while moving tasks, then
freezing the cgroup and moving its tasks away from userspace could
be enough?
