Peter Zijlstra 77d1dfda0e sched/topology, cpuset: Avoid spurious/wrong domain rebuilds
When disabling cpuset.sched_load_balance we expect to be able to online
CPUs without generating sched_domains. However this is currently
completely broken.

What happens is that we generate the sched_domains and then destroy
them. This is because of the spurious 'default' domain build in
cpuset_update_active_cpus(). That builds a single machine wide domain
and then schedules a work to build the 'real' domains. The work then
finds there are _no_ domains and destroys the lot again.

Furthermore, if there actually were cpusets, building the machine wide
domain is actively wrong, because it would allow tasks to 'escape' their
cpuset. Also I don't think its needed, the scheduler really should
respect the active mask.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
