Thank you all. I will make the following changes and send v3.

1. Provide more details about the use case, testing, and implementation of CONSTRAINT_CPUSET, including an example of before/after behavior.

2. Provide more details about how OOM victims are evaluated.

3. Document the userspace visible change in Documentation.

4. Add an option /proc/sys/vm/oom_in_cpuset for cpuset oom.

5. Rename cpuset_cgroup_scan_tasks() to cpuset_scan_tasks() and add a doctext comment about its purpose and how it should be used.

6. Take cpuset_rwsem to ensure that cpusets are stable.
