Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add hierarchical accounting to cpu accounting
	controller

I realized from the patch present at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/5/277,
that it is not necessary to initialize css.group in cpuacct_create()
as it is done in cgroup core. Present below is the updated patch:

Regards,
Bharata.

Add hierarchical accounting to cpu accounting controller

Currently, while charging the task's cputime to its accounting group,
the accounting group hierarchy isn't updated. This patch charges the cputime
of a task to its accounting group and all its parent accounting groups.
