[PATCH v5 4/6] cgroup/cpuset: Allow non-top parent partition to distribute out all CPUs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, a parent partition cannot distribute all its CPUs to child
partitions with no CPUs left. However in some use cases, a management
application may want to create a parent partition as a management unit
with no task associated with it and has all its CPUs distributed to
various child partitions dynamically according to their needs. Leaving
a cpu in the parent partition in such a case is now a waste.

To accommodate such use cases, a parent partition can now have all its
CPUs distributed to its child partitions with 0 effective cpu left as
long as it is not the top cpuset and it has no task at the time the
child partition is being created. A terminal partition with no child
partition underlying it, however, cannot have 0 effective cpu which
will make the partition invalid.

Once an empty parent partition is formed, no new task can be moved
into it.
