Subject: [PATCH] cgroups: defer free css_set
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:49:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4926761B.2060608@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)


we free css_set when refcnt became 0 immediately(except cgroup_attach_task()).
I will destroy the data which read side maybe still access it.
this patch use call_rcu() to defer free css_set
