After the brief look at kernel/cpuset.c, it seems that attach_task() should
guarantee that the task can't use CPUs outside of cpuset->cpus_allowed.
But this looks racy wrt sched_setaffinity() which does
cpus_allowed = cpuset_cpus_allowed(p);
// callback_mutex is free
set_cpus_allowed(p);
What if attach_task()->set_cpus_allowed() happens in between?
Another question: update_cpumask(cs) does nothing with the tasks attached to
that cpuset, why? It may take a while before the task actually migrates to the
new CPU.
Thanks,
Oleg.
