Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] cpuset: Allow v2 behavior in v1 cgroup

v1->v2:
 - Drop the kernel command line option and use cgroupfs mount option
   instead to enable v2 controller behavior in v1 cgroup.

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/15/570

This patchset adds a new cgroupfs mount option "v2_mode" that serves
as a hint that a v1 controller can use v2 hehavior, if applicable.
The cpuset controller is then modified to observe this mode.

Patch 1 adds the v1 cgroupfs mount option "v2_mode" which set a flag
in the cgroup_root flags.

Patch 2 modifies the cpuset controller to check the cgroup_root flag
and switch to v2 behavior even in a v1 cgroup.

Waiman Long (2):
  cgroup: Add a hint to allow v1 controller to use v2 behavior
  cpuset: Allow v2 behavior in v1 cgroup
