Subject[PATCH v11 0/8] cgroup/cpuset: cpu partition code enhancements
Date
v11:
- Fix incorrect spacing in patch 7 and include documentation suggestions
by Michal.
- Move partition_is_populated() check to the last one in list of
conditions to be checked.

v10:
- Relax constraints for changes made to "cpuset.cpus"
and "cpuset.cpus.partition" as suggested. Now almost all changes
are allowed.
- Add patch 1 to signal that we may need to do additional work in
the future to relax the constraint that tasks' cpumask may need
some adjustment if child partitions are present.
- Add patch 2 for miscellaneous cleanups.

This patchset include the following enhancements to the cpuset v2
partition code.
1) Allow partitions that have no task to have empty effective cpus.
2) Relax the constraints on what changes are allowed in cpuset.cpus
and cpuset.cpus.partition. However, the partition remain invalid
until the constraints of a valid partition root is satisfied.
3) Add a new "isolated" partition type for partitions with no load
balancing which is available in v1 but not yet in v2.
4) Allow the reading of cpuset.cpus.partition to include a reason
string as to why the partition remain invalid.

In addition, the cgroup-v2.rst documentation file is updated and a self
test is added to verify the correctness the partition code.

The code diff from v10 is listed below.

Waiman Long (8):
cgroup/cpuset: Add top_cpuset check in update_tasks_cpumask()
cgroup/cpuset: Miscellaneous cleanups & add helper functions
cgroup/cpuset: Allow no-task partition to have empty
cpuset.cpus.effective
cgroup/cpuset: Relax constraints to partition & cpus changes
cgroup/cpuset: Add a new isolated cpus.partition type
cgroup/cpuset: Show invalid partition reason string
cgroup/cpuset: Update description of cpuset.cpus.partition in
cgroup-v2.rst
kselftest/cgroup: Add cpuset v2 partition root state test
