From d751ab1f1e532f32412d99b71a1bfea3e5282d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:36:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix race in task_group() Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c1 ("sched: Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he found the reason to be that the multiple task_group() invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values. Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty, but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup stuff works.
