[PATCH v12 4/9] cpuset: Allow changes to cpus in a partition root

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 10:41:47 EST


The previous patch introduces a new partition flag, but won't allow
changes made to "cpuset.cpus" once the flag is on. That may be too
restrictive in some use cases. So this restiction is now relaxed to
allow changes made to the "cpuset.cpus" file with some constraints:

1) The new set of cpus must still be exclusive.
2) Newly added cpus must be a subset of the parent effective_cpus.
3) None of the deleted cpus can be one of those allocated to a child
partition roots, if present.

left in the parent partition root cgroup.

+ In a partition root, changes to "cpuset.cpus" is allowed as long
+ as the first condition above as well as the following two
+ additional conditions are true.
+
+ 1) Any added CPUs must be a proper subset of the parent's
+ "cpuset.cpus.effective".
+ 2) No CPU that has been distributed to child partition roots is
+ is deleted.
