Re: [PATCH] Temporarily shutoff CPUSET cgroup in libvirt.

Hi Eric~

I found that even if I remove cpuset in qemu.conf, the corresponding
cgroup directories will still be created. Such as:

/cgroup
  |->cpuset
       |->libvirt
            |->qemu
            |    |->vm1
            |->lxc

Is this behaviour correct ?

IMHO, if we shutoff cpuset cgroup in qemu.conf, the qemu and vm1
directories should not be created.

Am I right ?

Thanks. :)

Do not use CPUSET cgroup to limit threads using cpu and memory until
the problem is fixed in kernel.
