[PATCH-cgroup 2/5] cgroup/cpuset: Clear effective_xcpus on cpus_allowed clearing only if cpus.exclusive not set

[Waiman Long]

Commit e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for
v2") adds a user writable cpuset.cpus.exclusive file for setting
exclusive CPUs to be used for the creation of partitions. Since then
effective_xcpus depends on both the cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive
setting. If cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set, effective_xcpus will depend
only on cpuset.cpus.exclusive.  When it is not set, effective_xcpus
will be set according to the cpuset.cpus value when the cpuset becomes
a valid partition root.

When cpuset.cpus is being cleared by the user, effective_xcpus should
only be cleared when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is not set. However, that
is not currently the case.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
  # mkdir test
  # echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
  # cd test
  # echo 3 > cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
  3
  # echo > cpuset.cpus
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared

Fix it by clearing effective_xcpus only if cpuset.cpus.exclusive is
not set.
