Hi, Shakeel,

Acutally we are working on replacing the callback by a synchronous way
to update closid and rmid when moving a task to a resource group. The
reason is the task may use old (even invalid) closid and rmid before
they are updated.

With the new way to update closid and rmid, the issues related to
the callbacks will be fixed as well.

We will release the new patches soon.

Thanks.
