Cpuset v1 uses the sched_load_balance control file to determine if load balancing should be enabled. Cpuset v2 gets rid of sched_load_balance as its use may require disabling load balancing at cgroup root. For workloads that require very low latency like DPDK, the latency jitters caused by periodic load balancing may exceed the desired latency limit. When cpuset v2 is in use, the only way to avoid this latency cost is to use the "isolcpus=" kernel boot option to isolate a set of CPUs. After the kernel boot, however, there is no way to add or remove CPUs from this isolated set. For workloads that are more dynamic in nature, that means users have to provision enough CPUs for the worst case situation resulting in excess idle CPUs. To address this issue for cpuset v2, a new cpuset.cpus.partition type "isolated" is added which allows the creation of a cpuset partition without load balancing. This will allow system administrators to dynamically adjust the size of isolated partition to the current need of the workload without rebooting the system.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
