Subject: [RFC PATCH -v4 19/22] cpuset: introduce validate_remote_partition
Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 19:42:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101114206.2434398-20-ridong.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101114206.2434398-1-ridong.chen@linux.dev>
From: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com>
This introduces validate_remote_partition() to consolidate validation
logic for remote partition operations. It is used by both
remote_partition_enable() and remote_cpus_update().
The new function performs the following checks:
1. Empty check: the new effective exclusive CPUs must not be empty.
2. Privilege requirement: only CAP_SYS_ADMIN can add CPUs to a
remote partition.
3. Online check: a new remote partition must have at least one
active CPU. An existing remote partition is allowed to have all
its CPUs offline, the same as before.
4. Resource check: the added CPUs can't use up all the top cpuset's
effective CPUs, and must not be in any existing sub-partitions.
5. Common partition validation via validate_partition(), including
the housekeeping conflict and tasks_nocpu_error() checks.
As a result, remote_cpus_update() reports PERR_INVCPUS instead of
PERR_NOCPUS when the added CPUs would use up the top cpuset's effective
CPUs, and checks housekeeping conflicts even when no CPU is added.
Additionally, remote_partition_disable() takes the partition error as
a parameter so that cs->prs_err can be updated centrally by
partition_disable(), instead of being written by each caller
beforehand.
