[PATCH v12 3/9] cpuset: Simulate auto-off of sched.partition at cgroup removal

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 10:41:43 EST


Making a cgroup a partition root will reserve cpu resource at its parent.
So when a partition root cgroup is destroyed, we need to free the
reserved cpus at its parent. This is now done by doing an auto-off of
the sched.partition flag in the offlining phase when a partition root
cgroup is being removed.
