This patch is actually not related to the CLONE_INTO_GROUP problem in patch 1. It is a generic problem when multiple users are moving threads into cgroup.threads of the same or different cpusets simultaneously. >> When there are concurrent cpuset attach operations in progress, >> cpuset_attach() may fetch the wrong value from cpuset_attach_old_cs >> causing incorrect result.

I guess we can put the old_cs value into cgroup_taskset. Since the related attach_in_progress value is in cpuset, so I put the old_cs there too. > Thirdly, if my initial assumptino is right -- I'd suggest ordering this > before the patch `cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle > CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly` to spare backporters possible troubles if > this is would be a fixup to that. I don't believe this patch has a dependency on patch 1. I had thought about adding a fixes tag so it will be backported to stable. However, this problem should be rare. Let's see what others think about it. Cheers, Longman
