cpusets: restructure the function cpuset_update_task_memory_state()
The kernel still allocates the page caches on old node after modifying its cpuset's mems when 'memory_spread_page' was set, or it didn't spread the page cache evenly over all the nodes that faulting task is allowed to usr after memory_spread_page was set. it is caused by the old mem_allowed and flags of the task, the current kernel doesn't updates them unless some function invokes cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), it is too late sometimes.We must update the mem_allowed and the flags of the tasks in time. Slab has the same problem. The following patches fix this bug by updating tasks' mem_allowed and spread flag after its cpuset's mems or spread flag is changed. This patch: Extract a function from cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). It will be used later for update tasks' page/slab spread flags after its cpuset's flag is set Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Cc: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
