I'd generate an event on any state changes. The user have to read the file to find out what happened anyway.
Thanks.
From my own testing with "inotify_add_watch(fd, file, IN_MODIFY)", poll() will return with a event whenever a user write to cpuset.cpus.partition control file. I haven't really look into the sysfs code yet, but I believe event generation will be automatic in this case. So I don't think I need to explicitly add a cgroup_file_notify() when users modify the control file directly. Other indirect modification may cause the partition value to change to/from PRS_ERROR and I should have captured all those changes in this patchset. I will update the patch to note this point to make it more clear.
