The patch titled
cgroups: more documentation for remount and release_agent
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
cgroups-more-documentation-for-remount-and-release_agent.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: cgroups: more documentation for remount and release_agent
From: Li Zefan <lizf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This won't remove cpuacct from the mounted hierachy:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /mnt
# mount -o remount,cpu /mnt
Because for this usage mount(8) will append the new options to the original
options.
And this will get you right:
# mount [-t cgroup] -o remount,cpu xxx /mnt
Also document how to specify or change release_agent.
