[PATCH v3 3/3] mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages

From: Yisheng Xie
Date: Thu Nov 16 2017 - 20:50:32 EST


As manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed
by the process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified
nodes contain memory. However, when test by following case:

new_nodes = 0;
old_nodes = 0xf;
ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set. As the new_nodes is empty,
we should expect EINVAL as documented.

To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes
AND current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.
