Subject: [Question] set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call failed at cpuset_attach()


Hello everyone

	I found the following warning log on qemu. I migrated a task from one cpuset cgroup to
another, while I also performed the cpu hotplug operation, and got following calltrace.

	This may lead to a inconsistency between the affinity of the task and cpuset.cpus of the
dest cpuset, but this task can be successfully migrated to the dest cpuset cgroup.

	Can we use cpus_read_lock()/cpus_read_unlock() to guarantee that set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
doesn't fail, as follows:

	Is there a better solution?

	Thanks
