[PATCH v5 4/4] mm/mempolicy: protect task interleave functions with tsk->mems_allowed_seq

From: Gregory Price <hidden>
Date: 2024-02-02 17:03:01
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - memory policy and migration, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

In the event of rebind, pol->nodemask can change at the same time as an
allocation occurs.  We can detect this with tsk->mems_allowed_seq and
prevent a miscount or an allocation failure from occurring.

The same thing happens in the allocators to detect failure, but this
can prevent spurious failures in a much smaller critical section.
