[PATCH] cpusets: simple rename
Add support for renaming cpusets. Only allow simple rename of cpuset directories in place. Don't allow moving cpusets elsewhere in hierarchy or renaming the special cpuset files in each cpuset directory. The usefulness of this simple rename became apparent when developing task migration facilities. It allows building a second cpuset hierarchy using new names and containing new CPUs and Memory Nodes, moving tasks from the old to the new cpusets, removing the old cpusets, and then renaming the new cpusets to be just like the old names, so that any knowledge that the tasks had of their cpuset names will still be valid. Leaf node cpusets can be migrated to other CPUs or Memory Nodes by just updating their 'cpus' and 'mems' files, but because no cpuset can contain CPUs or Nodes not in its parent cpuset, one cannot do this in a cpuset hierarchy without first expanding all the non-leaf cpusets to contain the union of both the old and new CPUs and Nodes, which would obfuscate the one-to-one migration of a task from one cpuset to another required to correctly migrate the physical page frames currently allocated to that task.
