Subject: Re: [PATCH] cgroup: provide a macro helper to iterate a cgroup's
 ancestors

> Use for_each_ancestor macro to iterate a cgroup's ancestors for clarity.> 

This patch doesn't make much sense to me. Because it does not reduce lines of code,
and I don't think it will reduce the size of the kernel, and the original code is
not bad in readability.
