If we're willing to spend a PF flag on it, we can > properly wait for it too instead of failing it. Or we can add another "unsigned no_cgroups:1" bit into task_struct, not sure. Anyway, I do not understand the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY check in __cgroup_procs_write(). task_can_attach() checks it too, so cgroups can't change the affinity. Imo something explicit like no_cgroups makes more sense.
