From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> The problem was found in iocost orignally([1]) that ioc can be freed in ioc_pd_free(). And later we found that there are more problem in iocost([2]). After some discussion, as suggested by Tejun([3]), we decide to fix the problem that parent pd can be freed before child pd in cgroup layer first. And the problem in [1] will be fixed later if this patchset is applied.
