v9:
- Add a new patch 1 to remove the child cpuset restriction on parent's
"cpuset.cpus".
- Relax initial root partition entry limitation to allow cpuset.cpus to
overlap that of parent's.
- An "isolated invalid" displayed type is added to
cpuset.cpus.partition.
- Resetting partition root to "member" will leave child partition root
as invalid.
- Update documentation and test accordingly.
v8:
- Reorganize the patch series and rationalize the features and
constraints of a partition.
- Update patch descriptions and documentation accordingly.
v7:
- Simplify the documentation patch (patch 5) as suggested by Tejun.
- Fix a typo in patch 2 and improper commit log in patch 3.
This patchset includes one bug fix and four enhancements to the cpuset v2 code.
Patch 1: Allow parent to set "cpuset.cpus" that may not be a superset
of children's "cpuset.cpus" for default hierarchy.
Patch 2: Enable partition with no task to have empty cpuset.cpus.effective.
Patch 3: Refining the features and constraints of a cpuset partition
clarifying what changes are allowed.
Patch 4: Add a new partition state "isolated" to create a partition
root without load balancing. This is for handling intermitten workloads
that have a strict low latency requirement.
Patch 5: Enable the "cpuset.cpus.partition" file to show the reason
that causes invalid partition like "root invalid (No cpu available
due to hotplug)".
Patch 6 updates the cgroup-v2.rst file accordingly. Patch 7 adds a new
cpuset test to test the new cpuset partition code.
