Yes right, v6.6-rc2 kernel doesn't have this issue. My bad for not updating
it ...

However I think the second issue described in the cover letter can still be
reproduced on v6.6-rc2. This present patch was not aiming to fix it though.

Commands:
# mkdir cgroup
# mount -t cgroup2 none cgroup/
# mkdir cgroup/A1 cgroup/B1
# echo "+cpuset" > cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
# echo 0-3 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# echo 4-6 > cgroup/B1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated
# echo 0-4 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated invalid (Cpu list in cpuset.cpus not exclusive)
# echo 0-3 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated invalid (Cpu list in cpuset.cpus not exclusive)

Cgroup A1 should be a valid isolated partition once its CPUs become
exclusive again I believe,
