[PATCH v5 3/6] cgroup/cpuset: Set isolated_cpus_updating only if isolated_cpus is changed

From: Waiman Long

Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 11:52:22 EST


As cpuset is updating HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping mask when there is
a change in the set of isolated CPUs, making this change is now more
costly than before. Right now, the isolated_cpus_updating flag can be
set even if there is no real change in isolated_cpus. Put in additional
checks to make sure that isolated_cpus_updating is set only if there
is a real change in isolated_cpus.
