DESCRIPTION

     The machine-independent kcpuset subsystem provides support for dynamic
     processor sets.  Conceptually kcpuset can be understood to be the kernel
     equivalent of the user space cpuset(3) interface.


FUNCTIONS

     kcpuset_create(retkcp, zero)
              The kcpuset_create() function creates a dynamic CPU set and
              stores the result to retkcp.  If the boolean zero is not false,
              the allocated set is also initialized to zero.

     kcpuset_destroy(kcp)
              Destroys the CPU set kcp and schedules any linked CPU sets for
              deferred destruction.

     kcpuset_copy(dkcp, skcp)
              Copies the CPU set pointed by skcp to dkcp.

     kcpuset_use(kcp)
              Marks kcp as being in use by increasing the reference count of
              the object.  Note that initially kcpuset_create() sets the ref-
              erence count to 1.

     kcpuset_unuse(kcp, lst)
              Decreases the internal reference count of kcp, and on the last
              reference (when the count reaches zero), destroys kcp.  If lst
              is not NULL, then instead of destroying, kcp will be added to
              the lst list for a deferred destruction.

     kcpuset_copyin(ucp, kcp, len)
              Copies the len bytes long user-space CPU set ucp to the kernel
              CPU set kcp.

     kcpuset_copyout(kcp, ucp, len)
              Copies the kernel CPU set kcp to the user-space CPU set ucp.

     kcpuset_zero(kcp)
              Clears the set kcp.

     kcpuset_fill(kcp)
              Fills the whole set kcp with ones.

     kcpuset_set(kcp, cpu)
              Adds cpu to the set kcp.

     kcpuset_clear(kcp, cpu)
              Removes cpu from the set kcp.

     kcpuset_isset(kcp, cpu)
              Returns 1 if cpu is part of the CPU set kcp.

     kcpuset_iszero(kcp)
              Returns true if the set kcp is empty.

     kcpuset_match(kcp1, kcp2)
              Compares the sets kcp1 and kcp2, returning true if these are
              identical.

     kcpuset_merge(kcp1, kcp2)
              Merges the set kcp2 to the set kcp1.

     kcpuset_atomic_set(kcp, cpu)
              The kcpuset_atomic_set() function operates as kcpuset_set(), but
              the operation is atomic; see atomic_ops(3) for more details.

     kcpuset_atomic_clear(kcp, cpu)
              Removes cpu from the CPU set kcp atomically.
