[GIT PULL] cgroup fixes for v3.12-rc6

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Oct 21 2013 - 06:49:28 EST


Hello, Linus.

Two late fixes for cgroup. One fixes descendant walk introduced
during this rc1 cycle. The other fixes a post 3.9 bug during task
attach which can lead to hang. Both fixes are critical and the fixes
are relatively straight-forward.

The two fixes are available in the following branch

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git for-3.12-fixes
