[PATCH] Cgroup:Fix race between fork and update cpuset mask

From: chaixianping
Date: Thu Aug 04 2016 - 07:42:44 EST


From: chaixianping <chaixianping@xxxxxxxxxx>

Fix the race between fork and update_cpumask or update_nodemask.
Scenario as follows:
1)A process fork a child process, the child process have
inherited the parent process cpus_allowed,mems_allowed
Before being added cset->tasks list.
2)Update_cpumask or update_nodemask change the parent's allowed
to a new value, *but the child still is the old value.
after being added cset->tasks list.
