Hi Waiman,

Thanks for the patch!

There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
  1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init()
  2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind()
  3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp()

The first cpuset_init() function just sets all the bits in the masks.
The last one executed is cpuset_init_smp() which sets up cpu and node
masks suitable for v1, but not v2.  cpuset_bind() does the right setup
for both v1 and v2 assuming that effective_mems and effective_cpus have
been set up properly which is not strictly the case here. As a result,
cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node masks
of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a cgroup
v2 environment.

To fix this problem, the redundant cpus_allowed and mems_allowed
mask setup in cpuset_init_smp() are removed. The effective_cpus and
effective_mems setup there are moved to cpuset_bind().

IIUC, the init order is:
	cpuset_bind()
	smp_init()
	cpuset_init_smp()

while all cpus except boot cpu is brought up in smp_init(), so I'm
thinking moving the cpus_allowed init from cpuset_init_smp() to
cpuset_bind() may cause some problem.

Good point. So cpuset_init_smp() is still useful for setting the right effective_cpus and probably effective_mems. I will update the patch accordingly.

Thanks,
Longman
