I think 'they' want a __percpu annotation there.

  this_cpu_ptr(cgrp->info);

 this_cpu_ptr();

I think that check is broken, TASK_DEAD is set way after calling
cgroup_exit(), so if we get preempted in between there you'll still go
funny.

We do set PF_EXITING before calling cgroup_exit() though.

Does this comment want an update? As per the above (broken) check, we
should never get here for DEAD tasks, hmm?

Copy/paste fail?

Again, do we really need this 'inline' ?

If we do that perf_get_cgroup() here (unconditional).

Then you can have that conditional perf_detach_cgroup() here, right?
