Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup/cpuset: Avoid unnecessary cpus & mems update in cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks()
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 18:45:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622224509.1927419-1-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
As reported by sashiko [1], cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks() may perform
unnecessary task iteration and updating of tasks' CPU and node masks
when mems_allowed and/or cpus_allowed are not set in cpuset v2. It is
due to the fact that the temporary new_cpus and new_mems masks do not
inherit parent's effective_cpus/mems when they are empty which is the
expected behavior for cpuset v2 since commit 4ec22e9c5a90 ("cpuset:
Enable cpuset controller in default hierarchy").
Fix that and avoid unnecessay work by adding the empty mask checks and
inheriting the parent's versions if empty.
