Waiman Long d7c8142d5a cgroup/cpuset: Make partition invalid if cpumask change violates exclusivity rule
Currently, changes in "cpust.cpus" of a partition root is not allowed if
it violates the sibling cpu exclusivity rule when the check is done
in the validate_change() function. That is inconsistent with the
other cpuset changes that are always allowed but may make a partition
invalid.

Update the cpuset code to allow cpumask change even if it violates the
sibling cpu exclusivity rule, but invalidate the partition instead
just like the other changes. However, other sibling partitions with
conflicting cpumask will also be invalidated in order to not violating
the exclusivity rule. This behavior is specific to this partition
rule violation.

Note that a previous commit has made sibling cpu exclusivity rule check
the last check of validate_change(). So if -EINVAL is returned, we can
be sure that sibling cpu exclusivity rule violation is the only rule
that is broken.

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.
