Sure, I agree.

Sorry, missed it, now I see. Thanks for pointing that out!

May be I don't understand your patch completely, but my guess was - you 
want to fake attaching to cpuset cgroups so that attach does not 
actually moves process in it but just says OK. Thus all configurations 
of nested cgroups does not matter as there are no tasks in them and we 
are OK. Now, AFAIKS, we have a partial state when task is moved to other 
cgroup but it's cpuset is left unchanged.

I can still apply cpuset to a task from CT (sorry for a lot of lines):

1) Host is idle.

2) Run something in CT:
CT-6ecd9be1 /# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
[1] 758

3) It burns cpu0:

    0.00    0.00  100.00

4) Create and setup cgroup and attach 758 to it in CT

CT-6ecd9be1 /# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test
CT-6ecd9be1 /# echo 3 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test/cpuset.cpus
CT-6ecd9be1 /# echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test/cpuset.mems
CT-6ecd9be1 /# echo 758  >/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test/tasks
CT-6ecd9be1 /# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test/tasks
758

5) Still burns cpu0, cpuset does not apply on 758!

    0.00    0.00  100.00

6) Change cpuset for these cgroup

echo 2 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/test/cpuset.cpus

7) Now it burns cpu 2

    0.00    0.00  100.00

So change to cpuset.cpus is actually applied to the task, that's what I 
mean. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I see: 1) emulation way 2) Fake attaching to cpuset cgroups in CT, 
similar to what you do, but __completely__ so that task is left in root 
container cgroup.
