Since the task will still go through the is_cpu_allowed() loop in
select_fallback_rq() after this, is the subset check actually required
here?
Yes, I think it's needed. do_set_cpus_allowed() doesn't do any checking
against the task_cpu_possible_mask, so if we returned to
select_fallback_rq() with a mask containing a mixture of 32-bit-capable and
64-bit-only CPUs then we'd end up setting an affinity mask for a 32-bit
task which contains 64-bit-only cores.
It would have more merit if cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() returned whether
it actually changed the allowed mask or not, in which case we could branch
either to the is_cpu_allowed() loop (as we do unconditionally now), or to
the 'state == possible' switch case.
I think this is a cleanup, so I can include it as a separate patch (see
below).
