[PATCH 1/4] cpuset: fix the problem that cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node(was: Re: [regression] cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time (58568d2))

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



cpuset_mem_spread_node() returns an offline node, and causes an oops.

This patch fixes it by initializing task->mems_allowed to
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], and updating task->mems_allowed when doing
memory hotplug.
