When updating task's mems_allowed and rebinding its mempolicy due to cpuset's mems being changed, we currently only take the seqlock for writing when either the task has a mempolicy, or the new mems has no intersection with the old mems. This should be enough to prevent a parallel allocation seeing no available nodes, but the optimization is IMHO unnecessary (cpuset updates should not be frequent), and we still potentially risk issues if the intersection of new and old nodes has limited amount of free/reclaimable memory. Let's just use the seqlock for all tasks. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <[email protected]> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> Cc: "Kirill A.
