* Refresh current tasks mems_allowed and mems_generation from

- * This routine is needed to update the per-task mems_allowed
- * data, within the tasks context, when it is trying to allocate
- * memory (in various mm/mempolicy.c routines) and notices
- * that some other task has been modifying its cpuset.
+ * Be sure to call refresh_mems() on any cpuset operation which

+ * the mems_generation in its cpuset, which would deadlock on
+ * cpuset_sem in cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed().
