* mess with it, or task is a failed fork, never visible to attach_task.
+ *
+ * Hack:
+ *
+ * Set the exiting tasks cpuset to the root cpuset (top_cpuset).
+ *
+ * Don't leave a task unable to allocate memory, as that is an
+ * accident waiting to happen should someone add a callout in
+ * do_exit() after the cpuset_exit() call that might allocate.
+ * If a task tries to allocate memory with an invalid cpuset,
+ * it will oops in cpuset_update_task_memory_state().
+ *
+ * We call cpuset_exit() while the task is still competent to
+ * handle notify_on_release(), then leave the task attached to
+ * the root cpuset (top_cpuset) for the remainder of its exit.
+ *
+ * To do this properly, we would increment the reference count on
+ * top_cpuset, and near the very end of the kernel/exit.c do_exit()
+ * code we would add a second cpuset function call, to drop that
+ * reference. This would just create an unnecessary hot spot on
+ * the top_cpuset reference count, to no avail.
+ *
+ * Normally, holding a reference to a cpuset without bumping its
+ * count is unsafe. The cpuset could go away, or someone could
+ * attach us to a different cpuset, decrementing the count on
+ * the first cpuset that we never incremented. But in this case,
+ * top_cpuset isn't going away, and either task has PF_EXITING set,
+ * which wards off any attach_task() attempts, or task is a failed
+ * fork, never visible to attach_task.
+ *
+ * Another way to do this would be to set the cpuset pointer
+ * to NULL here, and check in cpuset_update_task_memory_state()
+ * for a NULL pointer. This hack avoids that NULL check, for no
+ * cost (other than this way too long comment ;).
