Waiman Long 7fd4da9c15 cgroup/cpuset: Optimize cpuset_attach() on v2
It was found that with the default hierarchy, enabling cpuset in the
child cgroups can trigger a cpuset_attach() call in each of the child
cgroups that have tasks with no change in effective cpus and mems. If
there are many processes in those child cgroups, it will burn quite a
lot of cpu cycles iterating all the tasks without doing useful work.

Optimizing this case by comparing between the old and new cpusets and
skip useless update if there is no change in effective cpus and mems.
Also mems_allowed are less likely to be changed than cpus_allowed. So
skip changing mm if there is no change in effective_mems and
CS_MEMORY_MIGRATE is not set.

By inserting some instrumentation code and running a simple command in
a container 200 times in a cgroup v2 system, it was found that all the
cpuset_attach() calls are skipped (401 times in total) as there was no
change in effective cpus and mems.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
