What about cpuset_attach()? When a task attaches to a new group its affinity
could be reset to possible_cpu_mask if it moves to top_cpuset or the
intersection of effective_cpus & cpu_online_mask.

Probably handled with later patches.

/me continue to look at the rest

Okay so in patch 11 we make set_cpus_allowed_ptr() fail. cpuset_attach will
just do WARN_ON_ONCE() and carry on.

I think we can fix that by making sure cpuset_can_attach() will fail. Which can
be done by fixing task_can_attach() to take into account the new arch
task_cpu_possible_mask()?

Thanks
