A. entity = task[s] | cgroup[s] B. entity = task[s] ^ cgroup[s] A I get, B I don't, but you seem to be saying B, else we get the task competes with sibling cgroup business. Let /foo be an exclusive cpuset containing exclusive subset bar. How can any task acquire set foo affinity if B really really applies? My box calls me a dummy if I try to create a "proper" home for tasks, one with both no snobby neighbors and proper affinity. -Mike -- 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
