From c84cdf75ccb2845f690579e838f13f7e744e3d23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:03:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Remove unnecessary task_lock before fetching css_set on migration When we fetch the css_set of the tasks on cgroup migration, we don't need anymore to synchronize against cgroup_exit() that could swap the old one with init_css_set. Now that we are using threadgroup_lock() during the migrations, we don't need to worry about it anymore.
