Re: [PATCH UPDATED2 3/3] vhost: apply cpumask and cgroup to vhostpollers

[Tejun Heo]

Apply the cpumask and cgroup of the initializing task to the created
vhost poller.

Based on Sridhar Samudrala's patch.  Li Zefan spotted a bug in error
path (twice), fixed (twice).

Heh... that's embarrassing.  Let's see if I can get it right the third
time.

Thank you.
