From 8695159967957015f8dfb49315d6f88e111d90e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:44:53 +0200 Subject: sched: silence PROVE_RCU in sched_fork() Because cgroup_fork() is ran before sched_fork() [ from copy_process() ] and the child's pid is not yet visible the child is pinned to its cgroup. Therefore we can silence this warning. A nicer solution would be moving cgroup_fork() to right after dup_task_struct() and exclude PF_STARTING from task_subsys_state().
