Subject: [PATCH-cpuset v6 0/2] Add Union-Find and use it to optimize cpuset

Hi all,

Add a Union-Find data structure in library, and use it to to optimize the
merging of cpumasks. It could potentially be used in network configuration
and topology management to manage the connectivity between different devices
or nodes, as well as in managing the merging and lookup operations of certain
complex file clusters or blocks.

To Tejun,
Since union_find operation does not require contiguous physical memory, I
have replaced the previous allocation method with vzalloc.

To Longman,
Based on your patch, the overlapping check and merge operations for cpusets are
skipped in the case of cgroup v2.

Kindly review.

Best Regards,
Xavier
