Since commit181c8e091a("cgroup/cpuset: Introduce remote partition"), a remote partition can be created underneath a non-partition root cpuset as long as its exclusive_cpus are set to distribute exclusive CPUs down to its children. The generate_sched_domains() function, however, doesn't take into account this new behavior and hence will fail to create the sched domain needed for a remote root (non-isolated) partition. There are two issues related to remote partition support. First of all, generate_sched_domains() has a fast path that is activated if root_load_balance is true and top_cpuset.nr_subparts is non-zero. The later condition isn't quite correct for remote partitions as nr_subparts just shows the number of local child partitions underneath it. There can be no local child partition under top_cpuset even if there are remote partitions further down the hierarchy. Fix that by checking for subpartitions_cpus which contains exclusive CPUs allocated to both local and remote partitions. Secondly, the valid partition check for subtree skipping in the csa[] generation loop isn't enough as remote partition does not need to have a partition root parent. Fix this problem by breaking csa[] array generation loop of generate_sched_domains() into v1 and v2 specific parts and checking a cpuset's exclusive_cpus before skipping its subtree in the v2 case. Also simplify generate_sched_domains() for cgroup v2 as only non-isolating partition roots should be included in building the cpuset array and none of the v1 scheduling attributes other than a different way to create an isolated partition are supported.

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 reStructuredText 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.
