If a cpuset is cpu or mem exclusive, no other cpuset, other than a direct
ancestor or descendent, may share any of the same CPUs or Memory Nodes.
A cpuset that is cpu exclusive has a sched domain associated with it.
The sched domain consists of all cpus in the current cpuset that are not
part of any exclusive child cpusets.
This ensures that the scheduler load balacing code only balances
against the cpus that are in the sched domain as defined above and not
all of the cpus in the system. This removes any overhead due to
load balancing code trying to pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive
cpuset only to be prevented by the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
User level code may create and destroy cpusets by name in the cpuset
virtual file system, manage the attributes and permissions of these

adjusted, as the job mix changes, without impacting other concurrently

- A cpuset may be marked exclusive, which ensures that no other

any overlapping CPUs or Memory Nodes.
Also a cpu_exclusive cpuset would be associated with a sched
domain.
- You can list all the tasks (by pid) attached to any cpuset.
