[PATCH] cgroups: remove rcu_read_lock() in cgroupstats_build()

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Fri Nov 21 2008 - 23:12:40 EST



cgroup_iter_* do not need rcu_read_lock().

In cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), do_each_thread() and
while_each_thread() are protected by RCU,
it's OK, for write_lock(&css_set_lock) implies rcu_read_lock() in non-RT kernel.

If we need explicit rcu_read_lock(), we should add rcu_read_lock()
in cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists(), not cgroup_iter_*.
