+ * cgroup_exit - detach cgroup from exiting task
+ * @tsk: pointer to task_struct of exiting process
+ *
+ * Description: Detach cgroup from @tsk and release it.
+ *
+ * Note that cgroups marked notify_on_release force every task in
+ * them to take the global cgroup_mutex mutex when exiting.
+ * This could impact scaling on very large systems. Be reluctant to
+ * use notify_on_release cgroups where very high task exit scaling
+ * is required on large systems.
+ *
+ * the_top_cgroup_hack:
+ *
+ * Set the exiting tasks cgroup to the root cgroup (top_cgroup).
+ *
+ * We call cgroup_exit() while the task is still competent to
+ * handle notify_on_release(), then leave the task attached to the
+ * root cgroup in each hierarchy for the remainder of its exit.
+ *
+ * To do this properly, we would increment the reference count on
+ * top_cgroup, and near the very end of the kernel/exit.c do_exit()
+ * code we would add a second cgroup function call, to drop that
+ * reference. This would just create an unnecessary hot spot on
+ * the top_cgroup reference count, to no avail.
+ *
+ * Normally, holding a reference to a cgroup without bumping its
+ * count is unsafe. The cgroup could go away, or someone could
+ * attach us to a different cgroup, decrementing the count on
+ * the first cgroup that we never incremented. But in this case,
+ * top_cgroup isn't going away, and either task has PF_EXITING set,
+ * which wards off any attach_task() attempts, or task is a failed
+ * fork, never visible to attach_task.
