Ah, my text was complicated.

Now,
- css_get(memcgrp) is called at mm_struct initialization.
- css_put(memcgrp) is called at mm_struct freeing.

How about
- css_get(memcgrp) is called at task_struct initialization.
- css_put(memcgrp) is called at task_struct freeing.

Because
1. we find mem_cgroup by mm->owner, after this.
2. generic group interface have exit() and clone() callback interface.

mem_cgroup will not be freed until rmdir(), anyway.

Thanks,
