Subject[PATCH v4 3/3] mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages
Date
As in manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when
none of the node IDs specified by new_nodes are on-line and allowed by the
process's current cpuset context, or none of the specified nodes contain
memory. However, when test by following case:

new_nodes = 0;
old_nodes = 0xf;
ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set. As the new_nodes is empty, we
should expect EINVAL as documented.

To fix the case like above, this patch check whether target nodes AND
current task_nodes is empty, and then check whether AND
node_states[N_MEMORY] is empty.

Meanwhile,this patch also remove the check of EPERM on CAP_SYS_NICE.
The caller of migrate_pages should be able to migrate the target process
pages anywhere the caller can allocate memory, if the caller can access
the mm_struct.

v3:
* check whether node is empty after AND current task node, and then nodes
which have memory
v4:
* remove the check of EPERM on CAP_SYS_NICE.

Hi Vlastimil and Christopher,

Could you please help to review this version?

Thanks
Yisheng Xie
