Edit: here's how I made the cpuset directory on the Leap 15.6 system. On a freshly-rebooted system:

devuser@product:~> ls /dev/cpuset
ls: cannot access '/dev/cpuset': No such file or directory
devuser@product:~> sudo mkdir /dev/cpuset
[sudo] password for root: 
devuser@product:~> sudo mount -t cpuset none /dev/cpuset
devuser@product:~> sudo mkdir /dev/cpuset/sys
devuser@product:~> ls /dev/cpuset/sys
cgroup.clone_children  mem_exclusive       mems
cgroup.procs           mem_hardwall        notify_on_release
cpu_exclusive          memory_migrate      sched_load_balance
cpus                   memory_pressure     sched_relax_domain_level
effective_cpus         memory_spread_page  tasks
effective_mems         memory_spread_slab

Files in /dev/cpuset renamed?

I'm working on some old scripts that deal with cpusets, porting to openSUSE. The scripts worked fine with openSUSE 15.5, but now with 15.6 they fail because the /dev/cpuset files they expect aren't there. In fact, the files are all there, but they've lost the prefix cpuset. in their names.

For instance, for a cpuset named sys, the scripts expect to manipulate /dev/cpuset/sys/cpuset.cpus, but the actual file seems to be named /dev/cpuset/sys/cpus. This pattern continues for all thirteen files that on openSUSE 15.5 (and older systems) had names starting with cpuset.; the same files are there, but without the cpuset. prefix.

Looking at docs.kernel.org's reference page, the cpuset.* naming is what is documented. Any idea where the files missing the cpuset. prefix came from?

More info: here's the full /dev/cpuset/sys directory (where sys is a cpuset name) on a openSUSE Leap 15.5 machine:

devuser@product:/dev/cpuset/sys> ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 .
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Feb 18 14:03 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cgroup.clone_children
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cgroup.procs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.cpu_exclusive
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.cpus
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.effective_cpus
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.effective_mems
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.mem_exclusive
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.mem_hardwall
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.memory_migrate
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.memory_pressure
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.memory_spread_page
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.memory_spread_slab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.mems
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.sched_load_balance
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 notify_on_release
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:07 tasks
devuser@product:/dev/cpuset/sys>

And here's the same directory on an openSUSE 15.6 machine:

devuser@product:/dev/cpuset/sys> ls -al
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 18 11:25 .
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0 Feb 18 11:25 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 cgroup.clone_children
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 cgroup.procs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 cpu_exclusive
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 cpus
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 effective_cpus
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 effective_mems
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 mem_exclusive
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 mem_hardwall
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 memory_migrate
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 memory_pressure
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 memory_spread_page
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 memory_spread_slab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 mems
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 notify_on_release
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 sched_load_balance
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 11:29 sched_relax_domain_level
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 12:41 tasks
devuser@product:/dev/cpuset/sys>

So, exactly the same set of files, except that where Leap 15.5 has a cpuset. prefix on thirteen of file files, Leap 15.6 has the same files but with cpuset. removed.
