v11: - Change the "domain_root" name to "partition" as suggested by Peter and update the documentation and code accordingly. - Remove the dying cgroup check in update_reserved_cpus() as the check may not be needed after all. - Document the effect of losing CPU affinity after offling all the cpus in a partition. - There is no other major code changes in this version. v10: - Remove the cpuset.sched.load_balance patch for now as it may not be that useful. - Break the large patch 2 into smaller patches to make them a bit easier to review. - Test and fix issues related to changing "cpuset.cpus" and cpu online/offline in a domain root. - Rename isolated_cpus to reserved_cpus as this cpumask holds CPUs reserved for child sched domains. - Rework the scheduling domain debug printing code in the last patch. - Document update to the newly moved Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst. v9: - Rename cpuset.sched.domain to cpuset.sched.domain_root to better identify its purpose as the root of a new scheduling domain or partition. - Clarify in the document about the purpose of domain_root and load_balance. Using domain_root is th only way to create new partition. - Fix a lockdep warning in update_isolated_cpumask() function. - Add a new patch to eliminate call to generate_sched_domains() for v2 when a change in cpu list does not touch a domain_root. v8: - Remove cpuset.cpus.isolated and add a new cpuset.sched.domain flag and rework the code accordingly. v8 patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/17/939 v9 patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/29/507 v10 patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/18/3 The purpose of this patchset is to provide a basic set of cpuset control files for cgroup v2. This basic set includes the non-root "cpus", "mems" and "sched.partition". The "cpus.effective" and "mems.effective" will appear in all cpuset-enabled cgroups. The new control file that is unique to v2 is "sched.partition". It is a boolean flag file that designates if a cgroup is the root of a new scheduling domain or partition with its own set of unique list of CPUs from scheduling perspective disjointed from other partitions. The root cgroup is always a partition root. Multiple levels of partitions are supported with some limitations. So a container partition root can behave like a real root. When a partition root cgroup is removed, its list of exclusive CPUs will be returned to the parent's cpus.effective automatically. A container root can be a partition root with sub-partitions created underneath it. One difference from the real root is that the "cpuset.sched.partition" flag isn't present in the real root, but is present in a container root. This is also true for other cpuset control files as well as those from the other controllers. This is a general issue that is not going to be addressed here in this patchset. This patchset does not exclude the possibility of adding more features in the future after careful consideration. Patch 1 enables cpuset in cgroup v2 with cpus, mems and their effective counterparts. Patch 2 adds a new "sched.partition" control file for setting up multiple scheduling domains or partitions. A partition root implies cpu_exclusive. Patch 3 handles the proper deletion of a partition root cgroup by turning off the partition flag automatically before deletion. Patch 4 allows "cpuset.cpus" of a partition root cgroup to be changed subject to certain constraints. Patch 5 makes the hotplug code deal with partition root properly. Patch 6 updates the scheduling domain genaration code to work with the new domain root feature. Patch 7 exposes cpus.effective and mems.effective to the root cgroup as enabling child scheduling domains will take CPUs away from the root cgroup. So it will be nice to monitor what CPUs are left there. Patch 8 eliminates the need to rebuild sched domains for v2 if cpu list changes occur to non-domain root cpusets only. Patch 9 enables the printing the debug information about scheduling domain generation. This patch is optional and is mainly for testing purpose only, it may not need to be merged.
