or should the for loop be changed to the following?

atomic64_inc(&pids_over_limit->events_local[PIDCG_MAX]);
cgroup_file_notify(&pids_over_limit->events_local_file);

for (p = pids_over_limit; parent_pids(p); p = parent_pids(p)) {
    atomic64_inc(&pt->events[PIDCG_MAX]);
    cgroup_file_notify(&p->events_file);
}

The current behaviour is quite different from other subsys, such as
memcg, that make me confused, maybe I am missing something.

it's appreciated if anyone could respond.
