One can use "cpuset.cpus.partition" to create multiple scheduling domains
or to produce a set of isolated CPUs where load balancing is disabled.
The former use case is less common but the latter one can be frequently
used especially for the Telco use cases like DPDK.
The existing "isolated" partition can be used to produce isolated
CPUs if the applications have full control of a system. However, in a
containerized environment where all the apps are run in a container,
it is hard to distribute out isolated CPUs from the root down given
the unified hierarchy nature of cgroup v2.
The container running on isolated CPUs can be several layers down from
the root. The current partition feature requires that all the ancestors
of a leaf partition root must be parititon roots themselves. This can
be hard to configure.
This patch introduces a new type of partition called remote partition.
A remote partition is a partition whose parent is not a partition root
itself and its CPUs are acquired directly from available CPUs in the
top cpuset through a hierachical distribution of exclusive CPUs down
from it.
By contrast, the existing type of partitions where their parents have
to be valid partition roots are referred to as local partitions as they
have to be clustered around a parent partition root.
Child local partitons can be created under a remote partition, but
a remote partition cannot be created under a local partition. We may
relax this limitation in the future if there are use cases for such
configuration.
Manually writing to the "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" file is not necessary
when creating local partitions. However, writing proper values to
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive" down the cgroup hierarchy before the target
remote partition root is mandatory for the creation of a remote
partition.
The value in "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" may change if its
"cpuset.cpus" or its parent's "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" changes.
