Excuse me, my English is not quite well, I guess what you said is:

  a. idr_destroy() should be called after ss->css_free()
  b. need check the return value of cgroup_init_idr() in cgroup_init().

  but all features which related with the 2 issues above, never be used
in any main linux main branches.
  so, the 2 bugs doesn't exist in real world.

Is what I guess correct ?

Thanks.
