v8: - Reorganize the patch series and rationalize the features and constraints of a partition. - Update patch descriptions and documentation accordingly. v7: - Simplify the documentation patch (patch 5) as suggested by Tejun. - Fix a typo in patch 2 and improper commit log in patch 3. v6: - Remove duplicated tmpmask from update_prstate() which should fix the frame size too large problem reported by kernel test robot. This patchset makes four enhancements to the cpuset v2 code. Patch 1: Enable partition with no task to have empty cpuset.cpus.effective. Patch 2: Refining the features and constraints of a cpuset partition clarifying what changes are allowed. 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: Enable the "cpuset.cpus.partition" file to show the reason that causes invalid partition like "root invalid (No cpu available due to hotplug)". Patch 5 updates the cgroup-v2.rst file accordingly. Patch 6 adds a new cpuset test to test the new cpuset partition code.
