Currently, changes in exclusive CPUs are being handled in remote_partition_check() by disabling conflicting remote partitions. However, that may lead to results unexpected by the users. Fix this problem by removing remote_partition_check() and making update_cpumasks_hier() handle changes in descendant remote partitions properly. The compute_effective_exclusive_cpumask() function is enhanced to check the exclusive_cpus and effective_xcpus from siblings and excluded them in its effective exclusive CPUs computation and return a value to show if there is any sibling conflicts. This is somewhat like the cpu_exclusive flag check in validate_change(). This is the initial step to enable us to retire the use of cpu_exclusive flag in cgroup v2 in the future. One of the tests in the TEST_MATRIX of the test_cpuset_prs.sh script has to be updated due to changes in the way a child remote partition root is being handled (updated instead of invalidation) in update_cpumasks_hier().

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.
