From 13337714f3b0307dc7f75ef5d83ecf0db2abbd65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 18:08:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: rcu_read_lock() to protect task_cs() task_cs() calls task_subsys_state(). We must use rcu_read_lock() to protect cgroup_subsys_state(). It's correct that top_cpuset is never freed, but cgroup_subsys_state() accesses css_set, this css_set maybe freed when task_cs() called. We use use rcu_read_lock() to protect it.
