SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH] cpuset: Allow setscheduler regardless of manipulated task

The way how I understand here is that the privileged process isn't part
of contrained workload (if it were then, it can modify cpuset itself)
like debugging or tracing a code within a container entered by the
admin. The bypass could not be used to setscheduler (via migration) of
an arbitrary process.

It's a freshly created child (after cpuset_css_online()), so it inherits
parent's attributes, so the migration from the parent to this child
doesn't affect CPU affinity etc.

Hm, I haven't thought about that. That might be in theory possible for
threaded controllers (like cpuset) but I imagine it'd a bit messy, in
particular for these implicit migrations upon controller enablement.

Thanks,
