Series cgroup/cpuset: Add new cpuset partition type & empty effecitve cpus | expand

Commit Message

Waiman Long Oct. 18, 2021, 2:36 p.m. UTC
Currently, a partition root cannot have empty "cpuset.cpus.effective".
As a result, a parent partition root cannot distribute out all its CPUs
 to child partitions with no CPUs left. However in most cases, there
shouldn't be any tasks associated with intermediate nodes of the default
 hierarchy. So the current rule is too restrictive and can waste valuable
 CPU resource.

To address this issue, we are now allowing a partition to have empty
"cpuset.cpus.effective" as long as it has no task. Therefore, a parent
partition with no task can now have all its CPUs distributed out to its
child partitions. The top cpuset always have some house-keeping tasks
running and so its list of effective cpu can't never be empty.

Once a partition with empty "cpuset.cpus.effective" is formed, no
new task can be moved into it until "cpuset.cpus.effective" becomes
non-empty.
