Thank you. I think there is no problematic in your patch.

After reading your patch, I wonder we can improve this migration by
filter for cgroup_scan_tasks().

Assume a task with tons of threads in a cgroup and
- change nodemask
- migrate=1

Under current implemntation, cpuset_migrate_mm=>do_migrate_mm is called per
threads. This implies there will be big overhead, useless scanning of page
tables.

Can we add some checks as "Is this mm already migrated ?", anywhere ?
(we may need to add some another array, again...)

Thanks,
-Kame
