[PATCH 4/4] cpuset: Hold callback_mutex in cpuset_clone()

From: Li Zefan
Date: Wed Feb 16 2011 - 20:49:43 EST


Chaning cpuset->mems/cpuset->cpus should be protected under
callback_mutex.

cpuset_clone() doesn't follow this rule. It's ok because it's
called when creating and initializing a cgroup, but we'd better
hold the lock to avoid subtil break in the future.
