Creating a child partition can fail when tasks are present in its
descendants, even though the parent has no tasks of its own.
On a cgroup v2 system with CPUs 0-7 online:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A
echo 1-2 > A/cpuset.cpus
echo root > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo +cpuset > A/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A/B
echo 1-2 > A/B/cpuset.cpus
echo +cpuset > A/B/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A/B/C
echo 1-2 > A/B/C/cpuset.cpus
echo $$ > A/B/C/cgroup.procs
echo root > A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
cat A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
root invalid (Parent unable to distribute cpu downstream)
cat A/cpuset.cpus.effective
1-2
B should be a valid root, leaving A with an empty effective CPU list.
The task in C belongs to B's partition and does not need CPUs in A.
partition_is_populated() is called with B as excluded_child, but
continue only skips B in the pre-order walk. The walk still visits C
and finds the task there, so A is considered populated.
Fix this by skipping the whole excluded subtree with
css_rightmost_descendant(), as is already done for valid child
partitions. Also add a test case to test_cpuset_prs.sh with a task in
a grandchild cpuset.
Fixes: b1bcaed1e39a ("cpuset: Treat cpusets in attaching as populated")
