Waiman Long fe8cd2736e cgroup/cpuset: Delay setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE until valid partition
The CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag is currently set whenever cpuset.cpus.exclusive
is set to make sure that the exclusivity test will be run to ensure its
exclusiveness. At the same time, this flag can be changed whenever the
partition root state is changed. For example, the CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag
will be reset whenever a partition root becomes invalid. This makes
using CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE to ensure exclusiveness a bit fragile.

The current scheme also makes setting up a cpuset.cpus.exclusive
hierarchy to enable remote partition harder as cpuset.cpus.exclusive
cannot overlap with any cpuset.cpus of sibling cpusets if their
cpuset.cpus.exclusive aren't set.

Solve these issues by deferring the setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag
until the cpuset become a valid partition root while adding new checks
in validate_change() to ensure that cpuset.cpus.exclusive of sibling
cpusets cannot overlap.

An additional check is also added to validate_change() to make sure that
cpuset.cpus of one cpuset cannot be a subset of cpuset.cpus.exclusive
of a sibling cpuset to avoid the problem that none of those CPUs will
be available when these exclusive CPUs are extracted out to a newly
enabled partition root. The Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst
file is updated to document the new constraints.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
