In cgroup v1, there are a bunch of cpuset control knobs that are just
boolean flags. To reduce the proliteration of cpuset control knobs
in v2 where multiple controllers will be active in a single cgroup,
all the boolean flags are now consolidated into a single cpuset.flags
control knob.
Currently, the cpuset.flags control knob just has one flag -
sched_load_balance. This flag is needed to enable CPU isolation
similar to what can be done with the "isolcpus" kernel boot parameter.
More flags can be added in the future if desired.
When the "cpuset.flags" file is read, it shows what flags have been
currently enabled. Turning on or off specific flags are done in a
way similar to what controllers can be enabled or disabled in the
cgroup.subtree_control control knob.
To enable the sched_load_balance flag, use
# echo +sched_load_balance > cpuset.flags
To disable it, use
# echo -sched_load_balance > cpuset.flags

+ cpuset.flags
+ A read-write multiple values file which exists on non-root
+ cgroups.
+
+ On read, it lists the flags that are currently enabled. On
+ write, the '+' or '-' prefix with the flag name is used to
+ enable and disable the flag respectively.
+
+ The currently supported flag is:
+
+ sched_load_balance
+ When it is not set, there will be no load balancing
+ among CPUs on this cpuset. Tasks will stay in the
+ CPUs they are running on and will not be moved to
+ other CPUs.
+
+ When it is set, tasks within this cpuset will be
+ load-balanced by the kernel scheduler. Tasks will be
+ moved from CPUs with high load to other CPUs within
+ the same cpuset with less load periodically.
+
+ This flag is on by default and will have to be
+ explicitly turned off.
+
+ To set a flag, use the '+' prefix:
+
+ # echo +sched_load_balance > cpuset.flags
+
+ To clear a flag, use the '-' prefix:
+
+ # echo -sched_load_balance > cpuset.flags
