cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective for v2

Browse Source

The creation of a cpuset partition means dedicating a set of exclusive
CPUs to be used by a particular partition only. These exclusive CPUs
will not be used by any cpusets outside of that partition.

To enable more flexibility in creating partitions, we need a way to
distribute exclusive CPUs that can be used in new partitions. Currently,
we have a subparts_cpus cpumask in struct cpuset that tracks only
the exclusive CPUs used by all the sub-partitions underneath a given
cpuset.

This patch reworks the way we do exclusive CPUs tracking. The
subparts_cpus is now renamed to effective_xcpus which tracks the
exclusive CPUs allocated to a partition root including those that are
further distributed down to sub-partitions underneath it. IOW, it also
includes the exclusive CPUs used by the current partition root. Note
that effective_xcpus can contain offline CPUs and it will always be a
subset of cpus_allowed.

The renamed effective_xcpus is now exposed via a new read-only
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" control file. The new effective_xcpus
cpumask should be set to cpus_allowed when a cpuset becomes a partition
root and be cleared if it is not a valid partition root.

In the next patch, we will enable write to another new control file to
enable further control of what can get into effective_xcpus.
