+ * It is ok to first take manage_sem, then nest callback_sem. We also
+ * require taking task_lock() when dereferencing a tasks cpuset pointer.
+ * See "The task_lock() exception", at the end of this comment.
+ *
+ * A task must hold both semaphores to modify cpusets. If a task
+ * holds manage_sem, then it blocks others wanting that semaphore,
+ * ensuring that it is the only task able to also acquire callback_sem
+ * and be able to modify cpusets. It can perform various checks on
+ * the cpuset structure first, knowing nothing will change. It can
+ * also allocate memory while just holding manage_sem. While it is
+ * performing these checks, various callback routines can briefly
+ * acquire callback_sem to query cpusets. Once it is ready to make
+ * the changes, it takes callback_sem, blocking everyone else.
+ *
+ * Calls to the kernel memory allocator can not be made while holding
+ * callback_sem, as that would risk double tripping on callback_sem
+ * from one of the callbacks into the cpuset code from within
+ * __alloc_pages().
+ *
+ * If a task is only holding callback_sem, then it has read-only
+ * access to cpusets.
+ *
+ * The task_struct fields mems_allowed and mems_generation may only
+ * be accessed in the context of that task, so require no locks.
+ *
+ * Any task can increment and decrement the count field without lock.
+ * So in general, code holding manage_sem or callback_sem can't rely
+ * on the count field not changing. However, if the count goes to
+ * zero, then only attach_task(), which holds both semaphores, can
+ * increment it again. Because a count of zero means that no tasks
+ * are currently attached, therefore there is no way a task attached
+ * to that cpuset can fork (the other way to increment the count).
+ * So code holding manage_sem or callback_sem can safely assume that
+ * if the count is zero, it will stay zero. Similarly, if a task
+ * holds manage_sem or callback_sem on a cpuset with zero count, it
+ * knows that the cpuset won't be removed, as cpuset_rmdir() needs
+ * both of those semaphores.
+ *
+ * A possible optimization to improve parallelism would be to make
+ * callback_sem a R/W semaphore (rwsem), allowing the callback routines
+ * to proceed in parallel, with read access, until the holder of
+ * manage_sem needed to take this rwsem for exclusive write access
+ * and modify some cpusets.
+ *
+ * The cpuset_common_file_write handler for operations that modify
+ * the cpuset hierarchy holds manage_sem across the entire operation,
+ * single threading all such cpuset modifications across the system.
+ *
+ * The cpuset_common_file_read() handlers only hold callback_sem across
+ * small pieces of code, such as when reading out possibly multi-word
+ * cpumasks and nodemasks.
+ *
+ * The fork and exit callbacks cpuset_fork() and cpuset_exit(), don't
+ * (usually) take either semaphore. These are the two most performance
+ * critical pieces of code here. The exception occurs on cpuset_exit(),
+ * when a task in a notify_on_release cpuset exits. Then manage_sem
* is taken, and if the cpuset count is zero, a usermode call made
* to /sbin/cpuset_release_agent with the name of the cpuset (path
* relative to the root of cpuset file system) as the argument.
*
- * A cpuset can only be deleted if both its 'count' of using tasks is
- * zero, and its list of 'children' cpusets is empty. Since all tasks
- * in the system use _some_ cpuset, and since there is always at least
- * one task in the system (init, pid == 1), therefore, top_cpuset
- * always has either children cpusets and/or using tasks. So no need
- * for any special hack to ensure that top_cpuset cannot be deleted.
