[patch V3 06/20] sched/mmcid: Prevent pointless work in mm_update_cpus_allowed()
Posted by Thomas Gleixner 3 months, 1 week ago
mm_update_cpus_allowed() is not required to be invoked for affinity changes
due to migrate_disable() and migrate_enable().

migrate_disable() restricts the task temporarily to a CPU on which the task
was already allowed to run, so nothing changes. migrate_enable() restores
the actual task affinity mask.

If that mask changed between migrate_disable() and migrate_enable() then
that change was already accounted for.

Move the invocation to the proper place to avoid that.
