Hmm.. got two ways in mind, for eg when we have cgroup hierarchy:

CG_A
|
|_________
| |
CG_B CG_C
|
|_______
| |
CG_D CG_E

One way is to add 'cpuset.gb_cpus' which only accept one partition,
CG_A collect these partition info from B,C and balance them between
these partitions, when it's 'cpuset.gb_enable' was turned on.

But this way got problem when to turn on 'cpuset.gb_enable' in CG_C,
since C could run into the partition of B, it's child can also too,
the rule of 'parent balance child between partitions they provided'
will be broken...

Another way is to add 'cpuset.gb_partitions' just like the 'gb_ctrl'
here, then CG_B,C will join group balancer following by D,E, when
C got it's own partition configured, D,E can follow C instead.

In this way the rule 'parent balance child between partitions' could
work, IMHO this way sounds much more practical , still require the new
interface to accept multiple partitions, but now managed by cpuset
cgroup in the hierarchy way.

Not sure if we understand the suggestion correctly... please let me
know if it's not, we would like to try the second way see if it's
working as expected firstly.

Michael Wang
