v6:
- Remove duplicated tmpmask from update_prstate() which should fix the
frame size too large problem reported by kernel test robot.
v5:
- Rebased to the latest for-5.15 branch of cgroup git tree and drop the
1st v4 patch as it has been merged.
- Update patch 1 to always allow changing partition root back to member
even if it invalidates child partitions undeneath it.
- Adjust the empty effective cpu partition patch to not allow 0 effective
cpu for terminal partition which will make it invalid).
- Add a new patch to enable reading of cpuset.cpus.partition to display
the reason that causes invalid partition.
- Adjust the documentation and testing patch accordingly.
v4:
- Rebased to the for-5.15 branch of cgroup git tree and dropped the
first 3 patches of v3 series which have been merged.
- Beside prohibiting violation of cpu exclusivity rule, allow arbitrary
changes to cpuset.cpus of a partition root and force the partition root
to become invalid in case any of the partition root constraints
are violated. The documentation file and self test are modified
accordingly.
This patchset makes four enhancements to the cpuset v2 code.
Patch 1: Properly handle partition root tree and make partition
invalid in case changes to cpuset.cpus violate any of the partition
root constraints.
Patch 2: Enable the "cpuset.cpus.partition" file to show the reason
that causes invalid partition like "root invalid (No cpu available
due to hotplug)".
Patch 3: Add a new partition state "isolated" to create a partition
root without load balancing. This is for handling intermitten workloads
that have a strict low latency requirement.
Patch 4: Allow partition roots that are not the top cpuset to distribute
all its cpus to child partitions as long as there is no task associated
with that partition root. This allows more flexibility for middleware
to manage multiple partitions.
Patch 5 updates the cgroup-v2.rst file accordingly. Patch 6 adds a new
cpuset test to test the new cpuset partition code.
