[PATCH v3 11/12] cpuset: allow writing offlined masks to cpuset.cpus/mems

From: Li Zefan
Date: Wed Jul 09 2014 - 04:49:30 EST


As the configured masks won't be limited by its parent, and the top
cpuset's masks won't change when hotplug happens, it's natural to
allow writing offlined masks to the configured masks.

If on default hierarchy:

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# mkdir /cpuset/sub
# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
# cat /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
1

If on legacy hierarchy:

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# mkdir /cpuset/sub
# echo 1 > /cpuset/sub/cpuset.cpus
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Note the checks don't need to be gated by cgroup_on_dfl, because we've
initialized top_cpuset.{cpus,mems}_allowed accordingly in cpuset_bind().
