What I'm trying to say is that cpuset.cpus of child_1 and child_2 are
owned by the parent, so a feature which blocks siblings from
intersecting each other doesn't make whole lot of sense because all
those files are under the control of the parent who would have the
power to enable or disable the restrition anyway.

The partition mode file is owned by the parent too, right? So, all
these are to be configured by the same entity and the errors can be
reported the same way, no?

Thanks.
