The only thing that's needed is that a cgroup needs to claim CPUs exclusively without using them, right? Let's say we add a new interface file, say, cpuset.cpus.reserve which is always exclusive and can be consumed by children whichever way they want, wouldn't that be sufficient? Then, there would be nothing to describe in the root cgroup. Thanks. -- tejun
