From: Yong Zhang Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 07:08:14 +0000 (+0800) Subject: sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=800d4d30c8f2;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git sched, autogroup: Stop going ahead if autogroup is disabled when autogroup is disable from the beginning, sched_autogroup_create_attach() autogroup_move_group() <== 1 sched_move_task() <== 2 task_move_group_fair() set_task_rq() task_group() autogroup_task_group() We go the whole path without doing anything useful. Then stop going further if autogroup is disabled. But there will be a race window between 1 and 2, in which sysctl_sched_autogroup_enabled is enabled. This issue will be toke by following patch.
