Currently, a parent partition root cannot distribute all its CPUs to
child partition roots with no CPUs left. However in some use cases,
a management application may want to create a parent partition root as
a management unit with no task associated with it and has all its CPUs
distributed to various child partition roots dynamically according to
their needs. Leaving a cpu in the parent partition root in such a case is
now a waste.
To accommodate such use cases, a parent partition root can now have
all its CPUs distributed to its child partition roots as long as:
1) it is not the top cpuset; and
2) there is no task directly associated with the parent.
Once an empty parent partition root is formed, no new task can be moved
into it.
