From e33c3b5e172e2e45456f42fba47227d48745543f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:25:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cpusets: update mems allowed in page allocator If all allowable memory is unreclaimable, it is possible to loop forever in the page allocator for ~__GFP_NORETRY allocations. During this time, it is also possible for a task's cpuset to expand its set of allowable nodes so that it now includes free memory. The cached copy of this set, current->mems_allowed, is stale, however, since there has not been a subsequent call to cpuset_update_task_memory_state(). The cached copy of the set of allowable nodes is now updated in the page allocator's slow path so the additional memory is available to get_page_from_freelist().
