Subject: [PATCH v3 13/13] selftests/cgroup: Add kernel-noise isolation test to cpuset selftest
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:11:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618-wujing-dhm-v3-13-28f1a4d83b68@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618-wujing-dhm-v3-0-28f1a4d83b68@gmail.com>
Add test_hk_noise_isolated() to test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify that
creating and destroying an isolated cpuset partition updates both the
domain isolation state and the kernel-noise (nohz_full) state.
For domain isolation, the test checks cpuset.cpus.isolated before and
after the partition create/destroy cycle.
For kernel-noise isolation, the test reads
/sys/devices/system/cpu/nohz_full to confirm that the CPUs placed in
an isolated partition appear in the nohz_full mask while the partition
is active, and are removed from it once the partition is destroyed.
This sysfs attribute only exists when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is enabled;
the nohz_full checks are skipped when it is absent so the test remains
usable on kernels without NO_HZ_FULL.
Add cpu_in_cpulist() to correctly determine whether a CPU number falls
within a kernel cpulist string (e.g. "4-7"). A plain grep cannot
detect membership in the interior of a range; cpu_in_cpulist() walks
each comma-separated element and handles both single values and
lo-hi ranges explicitly.
The test also covers: rejection of all-CPU isolation, the SMT sibling
constraint, nested partition inheritance, and a 100-cycle pressure test.
nohz_full is verified to be restored to its pre-test value after each
create/destroy cycle and after the pressure test.
Fix awk invocation to drop the spurious -e flag.
