Subject: Fix cpusets update_cpumask
From: Paul Menage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cause writes to cpuset "cpus" file to update cpus_allowed for member tasks:
- collect batches of tasks under tasklist_lock and then call
set_cpus_allowed() on them outside the lock (since this can sleep).
- add a simple generic priority heap type to allow efficient collection
of batches of tasks to be processed without duplicating or missing any
tasks in subsequent batches.
- make "cpus" file update a no-op if the mask hasn't changed
- fix race between update_cpumask() and sched_setaffinity() by making
sched_setaffinity() post-check that it's not running on any cpus outside
cpuset_cpus_allowed().
