Subject: [PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Fix partition recovery with unavailable CPUs
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 21:33:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020133315.123890-1-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn>
An invalid local partition can become valid again even when its
exclusive CPUs are no longer available from its parent.
This can be reproduced on a cgroup v2 system with CPUs 0-7 online:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A
echo 1-4 > A/cpuset.cpus
echo 1-4 > A/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
echo root > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo +cpuset > A/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A/B
echo 3-4 > A/B/cpuset.cpus
echo 3-4 > A/B/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
echo root > A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 1-2 > A/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
cat A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
root
cat A/B/cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
cat A/cpuset.cpus.effective
1-2
cat A/B/cpuset.cpus.effective
1-2
B is changed back to a valid root even though its exclusive CPUs are
no longer available and cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective is empty. B
should remain invalid until A can provide its exclusive CPUs again.
Shrinking A's exclusive CPUs invalidates B in
compute_partition_effective_cpumask(). The subsequent walk in
update_cpumasks_hier() tries to recover B, but
update_parent_effective_cpumask() skips the recovery checks when xcpus
is not a subset of parent->effective_xcpus. Since part_error is still
zero, B is changed back to a valid partition.
Set PERR_INVCPUS when the subset check fails so that the partition stays
invalid. New test cases are added to test_cpuset_prs.sh for removing and
restoring the parent's exclusive CPUs.
Fixes: 0c7f293efc87 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective for v2")
