The cpuset interface documentation says cpuset.cpus.isolated is empty
unless an isolated partition exists, omitting CPUs isolated at boot with
isolcpus=domain. Its cpuset.cpus.effective description also assumes CPUs
come from the immediate parent and are normally a subset of
cpuset.cpus, which is not always true for valid non-root partition roots.
Update both descriptions to match the existing behavior.
Changes since v2:
- Update the valid partition root example to show that an offline CPU
can remain in cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective while being excluded
from cpuset.cpus.effective.
- Add the Reviewed-by tag to patch 2.
- Patch 1 is unchanged.
