This patcheset introduces behavior changes, but only if you mount cgroupfs with sane_behavior option: - We introduce new interfaces cpuset.effective_cpus and cpuset.effective_mems, while cpuset.cpus and cpuset.mems will be configured masks. - The configured masks can be changed by writing cpuset.cpus/mems only. They won't be changed when hotplug happens. - Users can config cpus and mems without restrictions from the parent cpuset. effective masks will enforce the hierarchical behavior. - Users can also config cpus and mems to have already offlined CPU/nodes. - When a CPU/node is onlined, it will be brought back to the effective masks if it's in the configured masks. - We build sched domains based on effective cpumask but not configured cpumask. v2: - fixed two bugs - made changelogs more verbose - added more comments - changed cs->real_{mems,cpus}_allowed to cs->effective_{mems, cpus} - splitted "cpuset: enable onlined cpu/node in effective masks" into 2 patches - exported cpuset.effective_{cpus,mems} unconditionally Li Zefan (12): cpuset: add cs->effective_cpus and cs->effective_mems cpuset: update cpuset->effective_{cpus,mems} at hotplug cpuset: update cs->effective_{cpus,mems} when config changes cpuset: inherit ancestor's masks if effective_{cpus,mems} becomes empty cpuset: use effective cpumask to build sched domains cpuset: initialize top_cpuset's configured masks at mount cpuset: apply cs->effective_{cpus,mems} cpuset: make cs->{cpus,mems}_allowed as user-configured masks cpuset: refactor cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() cpuset: enable onlined cpu/node in effective masks cpuset: allow writing offlined masks to cpuset.cpus/mems cpuset: export effective masks to userspace kernel/cpuset.c | 513 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 316 insertions(+), 197 deletions(-) -- 1.8.0.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
