The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one. The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't manifested as an actual issue. We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation instead of the next id. Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
