Subject: [PATCH] cpuset: fix possible races in cpu/memory hotplug
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:26:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49880DB7.7020509@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

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.
