Putting a task in a cpuset overrides any affinity mask applied by a previous cpuset or sched_setaffinity() call. I wouldn't call it a corner case though. Android user-space is exploiting it all the time on some devices through the foreground, background, and top-app cgroups. If a tasks fork() the child task will belong to the same cgroup automatically. If you execve() you retain the previous affinity mask and cgroup. So putting parent task about to execve() into aarch32 into a cpuset with only aarch32 CPUs should be enough to never have the task or any of its child tasks SIGKILLED. A few simple experiments with fork() and execve() seems to confirm that. I don't see any changes needed in the kernel. Changing cgroup through clone could of course fail if user-space specifies an unsuitable cgroup. Fixing that would be part of fixing the cpuset setup in user-space which is required anyway.
