- *
- * If the current tasks cpusets mems_allowed changed behind our
- * backs, update current->mems_allowed, mems_generation and task NUMA
- * mempolicy to the new value.
- *
- * Task mempolicy is updated by rebinding it relative to the
- * current->cpuset if a task has its memory placement changed.
- * Do not call this routine if in_interrupt().
- *
- * Call without callback_mutex or task_lock() held.  May be
- * called with or without cgroup_mutex held.  Thanks in part to
- * 'the_top_cpuset_hack', the task's cpuset pointer will never
- * be NULL.  This routine also might acquire callback_mutex during
- * call.
- *
- * Reading current->cpuset->mems_generation doesn't need task_lock
- * to guard the current->cpuset derefence, because it is guarded
- * from concurrent freeing of current->cpuset using RCU.
- *
- * The rcu_dereference() is technically probably not needed,
- * as I don't actually mind if I see a new cpuset pointer but
- * an old value of mems_generation.  However this really only
- * matters on alpha systems using cpusets heavily.  If I dropped
- * that rcu_dereference(), it would save them a memory barrier.
- * For all other arch's, rcu_dereference is a no-op anyway, and for
- * alpha systems not using cpusets, another planned optimization,
- * avoiding the rcu critical section for tasks in the root cpuset
- * which is statically allocated, so can't vanish, will make this
- * irrelevant.  Better to use RCU as intended, than to engage in
- * some cute trick to save a memory barrier that is impossible to
- * test, for alpha systems using cpusets heavily, which might not
- * even exist.
- *
- * This routine is needed to update the per-task mems_allowed data,
- * within the tasks context, when it is trying to allocate memory
- * (in various mm/mempolicy.c routines) and notices that some other
- * task has been modifying its cpuset.
