[PATCH 1/3] cpuset: initialize effective masks when clone_children is enabled

From: Zefan Li
Date: Thu Feb 12 2015 - 22:20:01 EST


If clone_children is enabled, effective masks won't be initialized
due to the bug:

# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# echo 1 > cgroup.clone_children
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# cat /mnt/tmp/
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus

# cat cpuset.cpus
0-15

And then this cpuset won't constrain the tasks in it.

Either the bug or the fix has no effect on unified hierarchy, as
there's no clone_chidren flag there any more.
