And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug. This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems rebinding on fork(): "When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist."
