Merge branch 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cpuset changes from Tejun Heo: "cpuset has always been rather odd about its configurations - a cgroup right after creation didn't allow any task executions before configuration, changing configuration in the parent modifies the descendants irreversibly and so on. These behaviors are inherently nasty and almost hostile against sharing the hierarchy with other controllers making it very difficult to use in unified hierarchy. Li is currently in the process of updating the behaviors for __DEVEL__sane_behavior which is the bulk of changes in this pull request. It isn't complete yet and the behaviors will change further but all changes are gated behind sane_behavior. In the process, the rather hairy work-item punting which was used to work around the limitations of cgroup descendant iterator was simplified." * 'for-3.11-cpuset' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cpuset: rename @cont to @cgrp cpuset: fix to migrate mm correctly in a corner case cpuset: allow to move tasks to empty cpusets cpuset: allow to keep tasks in empty cpusets cpuset: introduce effective_{cpumask|nodemask}_cpuset() cpuset: record old_mems_allowed in struct cpuset cpuset: remove async hotplug propagation work cpuset: let hotplug propagation work wait for task attaching cpuset: re-structure update_cpumask() a bit cpuset: remove cpuset_test_cpumask() cpuset: remove unnecessary variable in cpuset_attach() cpuset: cleanup guarantee_online_{cpus|mems}() cpuset: remove redundant check in cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback()
