Subject[PATCH v5 0/5] CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend/resume: Fixes, cleanups and optimizations
Date
Currently the kernel doesn't handle cpusets properly during suspend/resume.
After a resume, all non-root cpusets end up having only 1 cpu (the boot cpu),
causing massive performance degradation of workloads. One major user of cpusets
is libvirt, which means that after a suspend/hibernation cycle, all VMs
suddenly end up running terribly slow!

Also, the kernel moves the tasks from one cpuset to another during CPU hotplug
in the suspend/resume path, leading to a task-management nightmare after
resume.

Patch 1 fixes this by keeping cpusets unmodified in the suspend/resume path.
But to ensure we don't trip over, it keeps the sched domains updated during
every CPU hotplug in the s/r path.
This is a long standing issue and we need to fix up stable kernels too.

The rest of the patches in the series are mostly cleanups/optimizations
(except patch 4 which is a non-critical bug fix).
