From 0b4217b3fdddc4a58939720d3ed809537577d48b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:57:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: fix possible races in cpu/memory hotplug Change to cpuset->cpus_allowed and cpuset->mems_allowed should be protected by callback_mutex, otherwise the reader may read wrong cpus/mems. This is cpuset's lock rule.
