Subject: [PATCH 3.5 09/71] cpuset: fix a race condition in __cpuset_node_allowed_softwall()
3.5.7.33 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Li Zefan <lizefan@...wei.com>
commit 99afb0fd5f05aac467ffa85c36778fec4396209b upstream.
It's not safe to access task's cpuset after releasing task_lock().
Holding callback_mutex won't help.
