Re: [PATCH v9 3/8] cpuset: Rebuild root domain deadline accounting information

[Michal Koutný]

Hello.

I came across a cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() call from the cpuset
controller...

...and I wonder why is it necessary to call at this place?

(IIUC, before cpuset hierarchy is anywhere mounted it's mere top_cpuset,
i.e. processing the top_cpuset alone is enough. And if anyone wants to
create any non-root cpusets, they have to mount the hierachy first, i.e.
no need to call cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() manually. Also if I'm not
overlooking anything, the race between hotplug and mount (more precisely
new cpuset creation) should be synchronized by cpuset_mutex.)

Thanks,
Michal
