Subject: mm/mempolicy.c: fix an incorrect rebind node in mpol_rebind_nodemask
mpol_rebind_nodemask() is called for MPOL_BIND and MPOL_INTERLEAVE
mempoclicies when the tasks's cpuset's mems_allowed changes. For
policies created without MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES or MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES,
it works by remapping the policy's allowed nodes (stored in v.nodes)
using the previous value of mems_allowed (stored in
w.cpuset_mems_allowed) as the domain of map and the new mems_allowed
(passed as nodes) as the range of the map (see the comment of
bitmap_remap() for details).
The result of remapping is stored back as policy's nodemask in v.nodes,
and the new value of mems_allowed should be stored in
w.cpuset_mems_allowed to facilitate the next rebind, if it happens.
However, 213980c0f23b ("mm, mempolicy: simplify rebinding mempolicies
when updating cpusets") introduced a bug where the result of remapping
is stored in w.cpuset_mems_allowed instead. Thus, a mempolicy's
allowed nodes can evolve in an unexpected way after a series of
rebinding due to cpuset mems_allowed changes, possibly binding to a
wrong node or a smaller number of nodes which may e.g. overload them.
This patch fixes the bug so rebinding again works as intended.
