[PATCH-next v4 5/6] cgroup/cpuset: Move mpol_rebind_mm/cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task()
From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri May 29 2026 - 17:29:38 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,
the following static variables will have to be updated in cpuset_fork().
- cpuset_attach_old_cs
- attach_cpus_updated
- attach_mems_updated
- queue_task_work
