cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently some cpuset behaviors are not friendly when cpuset is co-mounted
with other cgroup controllers.

Now with this patchset if cpuset is mounted with sane_behavior option,
it behaves differently:

- Tasks will be kept in empty cpusets when hotplug happens and take
  masks of ancestors with non-empty cpus/mems, instead of being moved to
  an ancestor.

- A task can be moved into an empty cpuset, and again it takes masks of
  ancestors, so the user can drop a task into a newly created cgroup without
  having to do anything for it.

As tasks can reside in empy cpusets, here're some rules:

- They can be moved to another cpuset, regardless it's empty or not.

- Though it takes masks from ancestors, it takes other configs from the
  empty cpuset.

- If the ancestors' masks are changed, those tasks will also be updated
  to take new masks.

v2: add documentation in include/linux/cgroup.h
