This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
cpuset: initialize effective masks when clone_children is enabled
to the 3.19-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
cpuset-initialize-effective-masks-when-clone_children-is-enabled.patch
and it can be found in the queue-3.19 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

Subject: cpuset: initialize effective masks when clone_children is enabled
From: Zefan Li <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 790317e1b266c776765a4bdcedefea706ff0fada upstream.
If clone_children is enabled, effective masks won't be initialized
due to the bug:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# echo 1 > cgroup.clone_children
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# cat /mnt/tmp/
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus
# cat cpuset.cpus
0-15
And then this cpuset won't constrain the tasks in it.
Either the bug or the fix has no effect on unified hierarchy, as
there's no clone_chidren flag there any more.
