hello,tejun

I checked the code again.
I don't quite understand what you said, if the child be moved between
cgroup_post_fork() and sched_post_sched(), what problems might it cause?
Does the child process will use the old sched_task_group at sched_post_fork()-->__set_task_cpu()?
Or there are other problems, Can you talk in more detail?

thanks!
