Consider: 8 CPUs, lower 4 have 32bit, higher 4 do not A - a 32 bit task B sys_foo() migrate_disable() sys_sched_setaffinity(A, 0xf0) if (.. | migration_disabled(A)) // not checking nothing __do_set_cpus_allowed(); migrate_enable() __set_cpus_allowed(SCA_MIGRATE_ENABLE) // frob outselves somewhere in 0xf0 sysret *BOOM* That is, I'm thinking we ought to disallow that sched_setaffinity() with -EINVAL for 0xf0 has no intersection with 0x0f.
