Thanks Peter and preeti, I had seen that intel link and had read but
was not very clear with it,
with both explanations and new links I am clear.


Sorry, I am still learning all these.   On top of scheduling domain, there is also cpusets, and both are intertwined (for eg, look into sched_fair.c), and cpu inside cpuset can be offline/online, or made allow/disallowed to be used. 

I know not the difference between cpusets and sched_domain - conceptually.   Any guidance?
