- * cgroup_fork - attach newly forked task to its parents cgroup.
+ * cgroup_fork - initialize cgroup related fields during copy_process()
* @child: pointer to task_struct of forking parent process.
*
- * Description: A task inherits its parent's cgroup at fork().
- *
- * A pointer to the shared css_set was automatically copied in
- * fork.c by dup_task_struct(). However, we ignore that copy, since
- * it was not made under the protection of RCU or cgroup_mutex, so
- * might no longer be a valid cgroup pointer. cgroup_attach_task() might
- * have already changed current->cgroups, allowing the previously
- * referenced cgroup group to be removed and freed.
- *
- * At the point that cgroup_fork() is called, 'current' is the parent
- * task, and the passed argument 'child' points to the child task.
+ * A task is associated with the init_css_set until cgroup_post_fork()
+ * attaches it to the parent's css_set. Empty cg_list indicates that
+ * @child isn't holding reference to its css_set.
