How about this ?
+cpuset_update_task_mems_allowed(task, new);    (this isn't implemented now

*new* is already guaranteed to be the subset of current mem_allowed.
Is this violate the permission ?

Automatically updating the ->mems_allowed field as you suggest would require that the kernel do the same checks in sys_migrage_pages(). Sounds not as a very good idea to me.

Hmm, it means a user or admin should modify mem_allowed
before the first page fault after calling sys_migrate_pages().
