Qais reported [1] that iterating over all tasks when rebuilding root
domains for finding out which ones are DEADLINE and need their bandwidth
correctly restored on such root domains can be a costly operation (10+
ms delays on suspend-resume). He proposed we skip rebuilding root
domains for certain operations, but that approach seemed arch specific
and possibly prone to errors, as paths that ultimately trigger a rebuild
might be quite convoluted (thanks Qais for spending time on this!).

To fix the problem

  01/06 - Rename functions deadline with DEADLINE accounting (cleanup
          suggested by Qais) - no functional change
  02/06 - Bring back cpuset_mutex (so that we have write access to cpusets
          from scheduler operations - and we also fix some problems
          associated to percpu_cpuset_rwsem)
  03/06 - Keep track of the number of DEADLINE tasks belonging to each cpuset
  04/06 - Create DL BW alloc, free & check overflow interface for bulk
          bandwidth allocation/removal - no functional change
  05/06 - Fix bandwidth allocation handling for cgroup operation
          involving multiple tasks
  06/06 - Use this information to only perform the costly iteration if
          DEADLINE tasks are actually present in the cpuset for which a
          corresponding root domain is being rebuilt

With respect to the RFC posting [2]

  1 - rename DEADLINE bandwidth accounting functions - Qais
  2 - call inc/dec_dl_tasks_cs from switched_{to,from}_dl - Qais
  3 - fix DEADLINE bandwidth allocation with multiple tasks - Waiman,
      contributed by Dietmar

This set is also available from

https://github.com/jlelli/linux.git deadline/rework-cpusets
Is this just waiting to be picked up or still there's something to be addressed
still?

There are some changes to cpuset code recently and so I believe that this patch series may need to be refreshed to reconcile the changes.

Thanks,
Longman
