Whenever memory node mask is changed, there are 4 places where the node
mask has to be updated or used.
1) task's node mask via cpuset_change_task_nodemask()
2) memory policy binding via mpol_rebind_mm()
3) if memory migration is enabled, migrate from old_mems_allowed to
the new node mask via cpuset_migrate_mm().
4) setting old_mems_allowed
These memory actions are done in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and
cpuset_attach(). However there are inconsistencies in what node masks
are being used in these 2 functions.
In cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask(),
- cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
- mpol_rebind_mm(): mems_allowed
- cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
- old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()
In cpuset_attach(),
- cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
- mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
- cpuset_migrate_mm(): effective_mems
- old_mems_allowed: effective_mems
These inconsistencies dates back to quite a long time ago and it is
hard to say what should be the correct values.
The guarantee_online_mems() function returns a node mask from current or
an ancestor cpuset that is a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]. Nodes in
node_states[N_MEMORY] are all online, i.e. in node_states[N_ONLINE].
However, node in node_states[N_ONLINE] may not have memory. So
node_states[N_MEMORY] should be a subset of node_states[N_ONLINE].
The guarantee_online_mems() function should only be useful for v1 where
mems_allowed is the same as effective_mems. With v2, the memory nodes
in effective_mems should always be a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY].
The only time that may not be true is when a memory hot-unplug operation
is in progress and a memory node is removed from node_states[N_MEMORY]
but not yet reflected in effective_mems as cpuset_handle_hotplug()
has not yet been called from cpuset_track_online_nodes(). When
cpuset_handle_hotplug() is called later, the memory node setting
of the relevant cpusets and tasks will be updated. So replacing the
guarantee_online_mems() call by just using cs->effective_mems should
be fine.
Let use the following setup for both of them and make them consistent.
- cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
- mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
- cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
- old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()
So for v2, it is effectively all effective_mems. For v1, mpol_rebind_mm()
uses mems_allowed which may differ from what guarantee_online_mems()
returns.

This is fixed in patch 7. I may have to send a new version of the patch
7 integrated back into individual patches.

After this patch, guarantee_online_mems() for v2 simply returns
cs->effective_mems directly. So the paragraph:
"The guarantee_online_mems() function should only be useful for v1
where mems_allowed is the same as effective_mems."
is no longer accurate — guarantee_online_mems() is now useful for
both v1 and v2, just with different behavior. For v2 it returns
effective_mems directly; for v1 it walks up the hierarchy to find
an ancestor with online memory nodes.
Similarly, "So replacing the guarantee_online_mems() call by just
using cs->effective_mems should be fine" describes the old reasoning,
but the patch actually keeps guarantee_online_mems() calls in place
and makes the function itself return effective_mems for v2. The commit
message should reflect what the patch actually does.

Extract the DL bandwidth allocation code in cpuset_attach() to a new
cpuset_reserve_dl_bw() helper to simplify code.
No functional change is expected.

Expand the scope of cpuset_can_attach_check() by including the setting
of setsched flag inside cpuset_can_attach_check() with the new @oldcs
and @psetsched argument. As cpuset_can_attach_check() is also called
from cpuset_can_fork(), set the new arguments to NULL from that caller.

There are two possible ways that migration of tasks from multiple source
cpusets to a target cpuset can happen. Either a multithread application
with threads in different cpusets is wholely moved to a new cpuset
or disabling of v2 cpuset controller will move all the tasks in child
cpusets to the parent cpuset.
In the former case, it is the mm setting of the group leader that really
matters. So cpuset_attach_old_cs should track the oldcs of the thread
leader. In the latter case, effective_mems of child cpusets must always
be a subset of the parent. So no real page migration will be necessary
no matter which child cpuset is selected as cpuset_attach_old_cs.
IOW, cpuset_attach_old_cs should be updated to match the latest task
group leader in cpuset_can_attach(), but fall back to that of the first
task if there is no group leader in the taskset.

The cpuset_attach_task() was introduced in commit 42a11bf5c543
("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly")
to enable the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) to behave more like
moving a task from one cpuset into another one. That commits didn't
move the mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() calls for group leader
into cpuset_attach_task().
When the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag is used without CLONE_THREAD, the new
task is its own group leader. So it is still not equivalent to moving
task between cpusets in this case. Make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP behaves
more close to cpuset_attach() by moving the mpol_rebind_mm() and
cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task(). As a result,
the following static variables will have to be updated in cpuset_fork().
- cpuset_attach_old_cs
- attach_cpus_updated
- attach_mems_updated
- queue_task_work

With cgroup v2, the cgroup_taskset structure passed into the cgroup
can_attach() and attach() methods can contain task migration data with
multiple destination or source cpusets when the cpuset controller is
enabled or disabled respectively.
Since cpuset is threaded in both v1 and v2, another possible way to
cause many-to-one migration is to move the whole process with multiple
threads in different cpuset enabled threaded cgroups into another cpuset
enabled cgroup.
The current cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach() functions still
expect task migration is from one source cpuset to one destination
cpuset. This has been the case since cpuset was enabled for cgroup v2
in commit 4ec22e9c5a90 ("cpuset: Enable cpuset controller in default
hierarchy").
This problem is less an issue when enabling the cpuset controller as all
the newly created child cpusets will have exactly the same set of CPUs
and memory nodes except when deadline tasks are involved in migration
as the deadline task accounting data can be off.
It can be more problematic when the cpuset controller is disabled as
their set of CPUs and memory nodes may differ from their parent or with
the moving of multi-threaded process from different threaded cgroups.
Fix that by tracking the set of source (old) and destination cpusets
in singly linked lists and iterating them all to properly update the
internal data. Also keep the current cs and oldcs variables up-to-date
with the css and task iterators.
This commit assumes that the set of source and destination cpusets
are distnct. IOW, the cgroup core shouldn't move a task from a given
cpuset back to itself. So a given cpuset cannot be both a source and a
destination cpuset. Running an experiment by moving a multithreaded
process with threads in multiple cpusets in threaded cgroups back to
its domain cgroup confirms that only threads that need to be moved
are included into the cgroup_taskset passed to cpuset_can_attach(). A
WARN_ON_ONCE() is added to cpuset_can_attach_check() to make sure that
this should always be the case.
To ensure proper DL tasks accounting, the nr_migrate_dl_tasks in both
the source and destination cpusets are decremented/incremented with
their values added to nr_deadline_tasks when the migration is successful.
Fixes: 4ec22e9c5a90 ("cpuset: Enable cpuset controller in default hierarchy")

An earlier patch has added an optimization in guarantee_online_mems()
to just return effective_mems for v2. However there is a short window
during memory hotunplug operation that it can return a nodemask with
no online node leading to possible memory OOM. To avoid this scenario,
though highly unlikely, the optimization is dropped.
Also set old_mems_allowed of the cpuset structure consistently with
the output of guarantee_online_mems() whenever an attach or a related
operation is in progress.
