[PATCH-next v3 4/5] cgroup/cpuset: Move mpol_rebind_mm/cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task()
From: Waiman Long
Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 11:39:48 EST
The cpuset_attach_task() was introduced in commit 42a11bf5c543
("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly")
to enable the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) to behave more like
moving a task from one cpuset into another one. That commits didn't
move the mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() calls for group leader
into cpuset_attach_task().
When the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag is used without CLONE_THREAD, the new
task is its own group leader. So it is still not equivalent to moving
task between cpusets in this case. Make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP behaves
more close to cpuset_attach() by moving the mpol_rebind_mm() and
cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task(). As a result,
cpuset_attach_old_cs, attach_cpus_updated and attach_mems_updated will
also need to be updated in cpuset_fork().
Besides, the original code use cpuset_attach_nodemask_to for
both nodemask returned by guarantee_online_mems() used only by
cpuset_change_task_nodemask() and cs->effective_mems in all other cases.
Such dual use is now impractical by merging the two task iteration loops
into one. So keep cpuset_attach_nodemask_to for the nodemask returned
by guarantee_online_mems() and reference cs->effective_mems directly
in all the other cases.
