Sorry to reply a long quiet thread, but I've been trading emails with Paul Jackson on this subject recently, and I've been unable to convince either him or myself that merging CPUSETs and CKRM is as easy as I once believed. I'm still convinced the CPU side is doable, but I haven't managed as much success with the memory binding side of CPUSETs. In light of this, I'd like to remove my previous objections to CPUSETs moving forward. If others still have things they want discussed before CPUSETs moves into mainline, that's fine, but it seems to me that CPUSETs offer legitimate functionality and that the code has certainly "done its time" in -mm to convince me it's stable and usable.

What about your proposed sched domain changes? Cant sched domains be used handle the CPU groupings and the existing code in cpusets that handle memory continue as is? Weren't sched somains supposed to give the scheduler better knowledge of the CPU groupings afterall ?

Yes. I still think that there is room for merging on the CPU scheduling side between CPUSETs and sched domains, and I will continue to work on that aspect. The reason Paul and I decided that they weren't totally reconcilable is because of the memory binding side of the CPUSETs code.
