From: Scott Wood <sw...@redhat.com> This function is concerned with the long-term cpu mask, not the transitory mask the task might have while migrate disabled. Before this patch, if a task was migrate disabled at the time __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() was called, and the new mask happened to be equal to the cpu that the task was running on, then the mask update would be lost.
