The CS_ONLINE flag was introduced prior to the CSS_ONLINE flag in the cpuset subsystem. Currently, the flag setting sequence is as follows: 1. cpuset_css_online() sets CS_ONLINE 2. css->flags gets CSS_ONLINE set ... 3. cgroup->kill_css sets CSS_DYING 4. cpuset_css_offline() clears CS_ONLINE 5. css->flags clears CSS_ONLINE The is_cpuset_online() check currently occurs between steps 1 and 3. However, it would be equally safe to perform this check between steps 2 and 3, as CSS_ONLINE provides the same synchronization guarantee as CS_ONLINE. Since CS_ONLINE is redundant with CSS_ONLINE and provides no additional synchronization benefits, we can safely remove it to simplify the code.

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.
