That is why I put down this statement. Just mind the threads -- cpuset controller is threaded and having tasks in inner cgroup nodes is a real scenario. I wouldn't consider it a corner case. [ Actually, the paragraph could IMO be simplified: > A valid parent partition may distribute out all its CPUs to > its child partitions as long as there is no task associated with it. Assuming there's always at least one kernel thread in the root cgroup that can't be migrated anyway.] Michal
