That is the behavior enforced by setting the CPU_EXCLUSIVE bit in cgroup v1. I haven't explicitly change it to make it different in cgroup v2. The major
reason is that I don't want change to one cpuset to affect a sibling
partition as it may make the code more complicate to validate if a partition
is valid.
If at all possible, I'd really like to avoid situations where a parent can't
withdraw resources due to something that a descendant does.

No, it doesn't affect parent at all. It just limit whats the siblings can do due to their mutual constraint. If this is what the confusion is about, I will try to reword the doc text.

I am planning to make the following change to the documentation patch. Please let me know if that can clarify the confusion, if any.

Thanks,
Longman
