cpuset partition (v1 and v2 both support this).
patch was to ensure that the housekeeping mask for scheduler domains
follows the partition boundaries dynamically as they are resized.
In V13, I will explicitly integrate the housekeeping update logic
directly with `cpuset.cpus.partition` transitions. This way, any change
to the isolation level of a partition will automatically update
the kernel-internal housekeeping state, avoiding any parallel management
logic.
It looks like your patch series isn't based on the latest v7.0 kernel. With the latest upstream kernel, the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask has been updated to dynamically follow changes made in the cpuset isolated partition setting.
