Subject[PATCH] mm/mempolicy.c: Remove unnecessary nodemask check in kernel_migrate_pages()
Date
1) task_nodes = cpuset_mems_allowed(current);
-> cpuset_mems_allowed() guaranteed to return some non-empty
subset of node_states[N_MEMORY].

2) nodes_and(*new, *new, task_nodes);
-> after nodes_and(), the 'new' should be empty or appropriate
nodemask(online node and with memory).

After 1) and 2), we could remove unnecessary check whether the 'new'
AND node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

[QUESTION]

SYSCALL_DEFINE4(migrate_pages, pid_t, pid, unsigned long, maxnode,
const unsigned long __user *, old_nodes,
const unsigned long __user *, new_nodes)
{
return kernel_migrate_pages(pid, maxnode, old_nodes, new_nodes);
}

The migrate_pages() takes pid argument, witch is the ID of the process
whose pages are to be moved. should the cpuset_mems_allowed(current) be
cpuset_mems_allowed(task)?
