From: Zefan Li <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 790317e1b266c776765a4bdcedefea706ff0fada ] If clone_children is enabled, effective masks won't be initialized due to the bug: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt # echo 1 > cgroup.clone_children # mkdir /mnt/tmp # cat /mnt/tmp/ # cat cpuset.effective_cpus # cat cpuset.cpus 0-15 And then this cpuset won't constrain the tasks in it. Either the bug or the fix has no effect on unified hierarchy, as there's no clone_chidren flag there any more.
