So what you're saying is that:

task t: set_mempolicy(,mask=2-3);

add t to cpuset A

A.mems = 0-1
A.mems = 0-n

At which point t will again have 2-3, right?

My objection is that you'll have to keep the 2-3 mask around some place
because t->mems_allowed will be wrecked by cpuset actions.

Also, what does it mean to silently return to 2-3 after you've broken
that promise by forcing it to 0-1 using cpusets?
