I've done a little reform, enabled multi-threads and add a mutex,
please check the code below for details.

I built it by:
        gcc -o my_tool cgroup_tool.c -lpthread

distro mount cpu-subsys under '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu', create group like:
        mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A
        mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/B
        mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/C

and then:
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/tasks ; ./my_tool -l
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/B/tasks ; ./my_tool -l
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/C/tasks ; ./my_tool 50

the results in top is around:

                A       B       C
        CPU%    550     550     100

While only './my_tool 50' was running, it require around 300%.

And this could also be reproduced by dbench, stress combination like:
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/A/tasks ; dbench 6
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/B/tasks ; stress -c 6
        echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/C/tasks ; stress -c 6

Now it seems more like a generic problem... will keep investigating, please
let me know if there are any suggestions :)

Regards,
Michael Wang
