Since it's not possible to add/remove a node to a mask without also
erasing the home node, this seems reasonable.

e.g. this is what happens presently
mbind(0-2)    :   mask(0,1,2),   home_node(NUMA_NO_NODE)
home_node(3)  :   mask(0,1,2),   home_node(3)
mbind(0-3)    :   mask(0,1,2,3), home_node(NUMA_NO_NODE)

However, it is possible for a cgroup migration or a change to
cpusets.mems_allowed to change a nodemask without somping the home_node.

e.g.:
mbind(2-3)    :   mask(2-3),  home_node(NUMA_NO_NODE)
home_node(3)  :   mask(2-3),  home_node(3)
cpusets(0-1)  :   mask(0-1),  home_node(3)

Should the rebind code also shift the home-node or un-set it accordingly
to keep the mask/home_node behavior consistent with the syscalls?

(see mpol_rebind_nodemask)
Thank you for your reply.
First, home_node can only be set for VMA policy.
second, the result of cgroup migration is consistent with the result of the first e.g.
when process mem_allowed updates, vma policy will alse be updated.
Function call:
update_tasks_nodemask
     ->mpol_rebind_mm
         -> for_each_vma: mpol_rebind_policy
             -> mpol_rebind_nodemask
