This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: cgroup/cpuset: rebind mm mempolicy to effective_mems, not mems_allowed
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 06:25:55 -0700

Creating a child cpuset where cpuset.mems is never set leads to a div/0
when a VMA mempolicy with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES rebinds in response to a
CPU hotplug event.

Reproduction steps:
 1) Create a cgroup w/ cpuset controls (do not set cpuset.mems)
 2) Move the task into the child cpuset
 3) Create a VMA mempolicy for that task with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES
 4) unplug and hotplug a cpu
      echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
 5) mempolicy rebind does a div/0 in mpol_relative_nodemask on the
    call to __nodes_fold()

The cpuset code passes (cs->mems_allowed) which is not guaranteed to have
nodes to the rebind routine.  Use cs->effective_mems instead, which is
guaranteed to have a non-empty nodemask.
