If the migration is being done as part of moving a cpuset, or moving a task to a different cpuset, then yes the cpuset code will change the mems_allowed.

Naked sys_migrate_pages() calls do not involve the cpuset code, nor change the target tasks mems_allowed. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
