Subject: Re: current linux-2.6.git: cpusets completely broken

There are now three patches that are outstanding (pending reviews, etc) on this:

1. cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched\
		    domain managment (take 2)

2. cpu hotplug: Make cpu_active_map synchronization dependency clear

3. cpuset: Make rebuild_sched_domains() usable from any context (take 2)

Please review/ack/nak/etc.

----
Linus ACKed #1 and Ingo seemed to be more or less ok with it. We need ACKs
from Dmitry, Peter and Greg on the general approach and due to some
non-trivial merges with their stuff. RT balancer cpupri thingy and and RT
bandwidth handling.

#2 Should be fairly straightforward.

#3 Need ACKs from Paul J. and Paul M. overall they seemed ok with the first
version, and new version implements the suggested workqueue based rebuild.


Thanx
Max
