[PATCH 1/3] mm/mempolicy: apply cpuset limits to tasks using default policy

[Abel Wu <wuyun.abel@bytedance.com>]

The nodemasks of non-default policies (pol->v) are calculated within
the restriction of task->mems_allowed, while default policies are not.
This may lead to improper results of mpol_misplaced(), since it can
return a target node outside of current->mems_allowed for tasks using
default policies. Although this is not a bug because migrating pages
to that out-of-cpuset node will fail eventually due to sanity checks
in page allocation, it still would be better to avoid such useless
efforts.

This patch also changes the behavior of autoNUMA a bit by showing
a tendency to move pages inside mems_allowed for tasks using default
policies, which is good for memory isolation.
