Subject: Re: [PATCH v10 7/8] cgroup/cpuset: Fail if isolated and nohz_full
don't leave any housekeeping

If you resend this patchset, can you rename isolcpus_nohz_conflict() to
isolated_cpus_can_update(). I intend to put more conditions in there
that are not related to nohz, also this aligns with
"isolated_cpus_should_update()" name.
Thanks!
