From: Paul Jackson <pj@xxxxxxx> The code in kernel/cgroup.c attach_task() which skips the attachment of a task to the group it is already in has to be removed. Cpusets depends on reattaching a task to its current cpuset, in order to trigger updating the cpus_allowed mask in the task struct. The dependency of cpusets on this is a hack, granted, but an important one. It lets us avoid checking for a changed cpuset 'cpus' setting in critical scheduler code paths.
