From f047cecf2cfc9595b1f39c9aab383bb0682f5a53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:11:44 +0800 Subject: cpuset: fix to migrate mm correctly in a corner case Before moving tasks out of empty cpusets, update_tasks_nodemask() is called, which calls do_migrate_pages(xx, from, to). Then those tasks are moved to an ancestor, and do_migrate_pages() is called again. The first time: from = node_to_be_offlined, to = empty. The second time: from = empty, to = ancestor's nodemask. so looks like no pages will be migrated. Fix this by: - Don't call update_tasks_nodemask() on empty cpusets. - Pass cs->old_mems_allowed to do_migrate_pages(). v4: added comment in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() and rephased comment in cpuset_attach().
