Correct, so that was 18 minutes ;-)

The bug should be easier to ffind in this form:

struct cgroup_subsys cpu_cgrp_subsys = {
         .css_alloc      = cpu_cgroup_css_alloc,
         .css_free       = cpu_cgroup_css_free,
         .css_online     = cpu_cgroup_css_online,
         .css_offline    = cpu_cgroup_css_offline,
         .fork           = cpu_cgroup_fork,
         .can_attach     = cpu_cgroup_attach,
         .attach         = cpu_cgroup_attach,
         .exit           = cpu_cgroup_exit,
         .legacy_cftypes = cpu_files,
         .early_init     = 1,
};

as there's a visual anomaly at a glance already, if you look carefully enough.

Agreed? These kinds of visual clues get hidden if the vertical alignment is 
missing.

Thanks,
