Subject: [PATCH 1/1] hotplug cpu: move tasks in empty cpusets to parent


From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@....com>

This patch corrects a situation that occurs when one disables all the cpus
in a cpuset.

At that point, any tasks in that cpuset are incorrectly moved (as I recall,
they were move to a sibling cpuset).
Such tasks should be move the parent of their current cpuset. Or if the
parent cpuset has no cpus, to its parent, etc.

And the empty cpuset should be removed (if it is flagged notify_on_release).

This patch contains the added complexity of taking care not to do memory
allocation while holding the cpusets callback_mutex. And it makes use of the
"cpuset_release_agent" to do the cpuset removals.

It might be simpler to use a separate thread or workqueue. But such code
has not yet been written.

Diffed against 2.6.20-rc6
