Waiman Long f0af1bfc27 cgroup/cpuset: Relax constraints to partition & cpus changes
Currently, enabling a partition root is only allowed if all the
constraints of a valid partition are satisfied. Even changes to
"cpuset.cpus" may not be allowed in some cases. Moreover, there are
limits to changes made to a parent cpuset if it is a valid partition
root. This is contrary to the general cgroup v2 philosophy.

This patch relaxes the constraints of changing the state of "cpuset.cpus"
and "cpuset.cpus.partition". Now all valid changes ("member" or "root")
to "cpuset.cpus.partition" are allowed even if there are child cpusets
underneath it.

Trying to make a cpuset a partition root, however, will cause its state
to become invalid if the following constraints of a valid partition
root are not satisfied.

 1) The "cpuset.cpus" is non-empty and exclusive.
 2) The parent cpuset is a valid partition root.
 3) The "cpuset.cpus" overlaps parent's "cpuset.cpus".

Similarly, almost all changes to "cpuset.cpus" are allowed with the
exception that if the underlying CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag is set, the
exclusivity rule will still apply.

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.
