[PATCH v8 00/11] cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple source/destination cpusets for cpuset_*attach()

[Waiman Long]

 v8:
  - Update patch 3 to make attach_in_progress a global flag which block
    all cpuset write operations until the attach is done.
  - Add a new patch 4 to collect most of the attach related variables
    into a attach_ctx structure as suggested by Ridong.
  - Add a test_cpuset selftest patch contributed by Michal Koutný.
  - Keep the existing Reviewed-by tags as there is no functional change
    to the other patches other than rename of some variables. Also add
    some new tags.

 v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260621032816.1806773-1-longman@redhat.com/
  - Include the fix patch from Farhad Alemi to fix a div/0 crash that
    was part of the old patch 1.
  - Integrated v6 patch 7 into earlier patches.
  - Add a new "cgroup/cpuset: Prevent race between task attach and
    cpuset state change" patch to ensure that there will be no cpuset
    state change between cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach() or
    cpuset_cancel_attach().
  - Break v6 patch 6 into 2 separate patches for supporting multiple
    source cpusets and multiple destination cpusets respectively and
    further simplify and streamline the code.

 v6:
  - Make guarantee_online_mems() to only return cs->effective_mems with v2
    in patch 1.
  - Remove obsolete commit description text from patch 3.
  - Add Reviewed-by tags.
  - In patch 6, add WARN_ON_ONCE() test in cpuset_can_attach() to
    confirm that cs != oldcs.

Sashiko AI review of another cpuset patch had found that cpuset_attach()
and cpuset_can_attach() can be passed a cgroup_taskset with tasks
migrating from one source cpuset to multiple destination cpusets and
vice versa.  Further testing of the cpuset code indicates that this is
indeed the case when the v2 cpuset controller is enabled or disabled.

Unfortunately, cpuset_attach() and cpuset_can_attach() still assume that
there will be one source and one destinaton cpuset which may result in
inocrrect behavior.

This patch series is created to fix this issue.

Patch 1 is a fix that fix a cgroup v2 div/0 crash due to bug in
cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask().

Patch 2 is to fix an inconsistency in the way node mask update is being
handled in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach() so that
they match each other.

Patch 3 makes any cpuset state change to wait for the completion of the
pending cpuset attach operation, if any.

Patch 4 collects task attach related data into a common attach_ctx
structure.

Patches 5 and 6 are just preparatory patches to make the remaining
patches easier to review.

Patch 7 makes attach_ctx.old_cs track group leader for use by
cpuset_migrate_mm().

Patch 8 moves mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() inside
cpuset_attach_task() to make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) works
more like moving task from one cpuset to another one, while also make
supporting multiple source and destination cpusets easier.

Patch 9 makes the necessary changes to enable the support of multiple
source cpusets by keeping all the source cpusets found during task
iterations in a singly linked lists.

Patch 10 enables the support of multiple destination cpusets during the
the enabling of cpuset v2 controller.

Patch 11 adds new test case to test_cpuset to test disabling of cpuset
controller.

[PATCH v8 01/11] cgroup/cpuset: rebind mm mempolicy to effective_mems, not mems_allowed

[Waiman Long]

From: Farhad Alemi <farhad.alemi@berkeley.edu>

Creating a child cpuset where cpuset.mems is never set leads to a div/0
when a VMA mempolicy with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES rebinds in response to a
CPU hotplug event.

Reproduction steps:
 1) Create a cgroup w/ cpuset controls (do not set cpuset.mems)
 2) Move the task into the child cpuset
 3) Create a VMA mempolicy for that task with MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES
 4) unplug and hotplug a cpu
      echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
 5) mempolicy rebind does a div/0 in mpol_relative_nodemask on the
    call to __nodes_fold()

The cpuset code passes (cs->mems_allowed) which is not guaranteed to have
nodes to the rebind routine.  Use cs->effective_mems instead, which is
guaranteed to have a non-empty nodemask.

[PATCH v8 02/11] cgroup/cpuset: Fix node inconsistencies between cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach()

[Waiman Long]

Whenever memory node mask is changed, there are 4 places where the node
mask has to be updated or used.
 1) task's node mask via cpuset_change_task_nodemask()
 2) memory policy binding via mpol_rebind_mm()
 3) if memory migration is enabled, migrate from old_mems_allowed to
    the new node mask via cpuset_migrate_mm().
 4) setting old_mems_allowed

These memory actions are done in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and
cpuset_attach(). However there are inconsistencies in what node masks
are being used in these 2 functions.

In cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask(),
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): mems_allowed
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()

In cpuset_attach(),
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): effective_mems
 - old_mems_allowed: effective_mems

These inconsistencies dates back to quite a long time ago and it is
hard to say what should be the correct values.

The guarantee_online_mems() function returns a node mask from current or
an ancestor cpuset that is a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]. Nodes in
node_states[N_MEMORY] are all online, i.e. in node_states[N_ONLINE].
However, node in node_states[N_ONLINE] may not have memory. So
node_states[N_MEMORY] should be a subset of node_states[N_ONLINE].

The guarantee_online_mems() function should mostly be useful for v1
where mems_allowed is the same as effective_mems. With v2, the memory
nodes in effective_mems should be a subset of node_states[N_MEMORY]
except when a memory hot-unplug operation is in progress and a memory
node is removed from node_states[N_MEMORY] but not yet reflected in
the effective_mems's as cpuset_handle_hotplug() has not been called
from cpuset_track_online_nodes().

Let use the following setup for both of them and make them consistent.
 - cpuset_change_task_nodemask(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - mpol_rebind_mm(): effective_mems
 - cpuset_migrate_mm(): guarantee_online_mems()
 - old_mems_allowed: guarantee_online_mems()

So for v2, it is effectively all effective_mems most of the time. For
v1, mpol_rebind_mm() uses mems_allowed which may differ from what
guarantee_online_mems() returns, but it conforms to what the cpuset v1
documentation says with respect to setting memory policy.

[PATCH v8 03/11] cgroup/cpuset: Prevent race between task attach and cpuset state change

[Waiman Long]

Commit e44193d39e8d ("cpuset: let hotplug propagation work wait for
task attaching") was introduced to let hotplug operation to wait
until the completion of task attach operation. However, it is still
possible that the states of the source or destination cpuset can
be changed between the cpuset_can_attach() call and the subsequent
cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cacnel_attach() call.

As a result, data gathered during cpuset_can_attach() cannot be reliably
used in the subsequent cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cacnel_attach()
call at all. Make the task attach operation more robust
and allow the sharing of data between cpuset_can_attach() and
cpuset_attach()/cpuset_cacnel_attach() by making cpuset_write_resmask()
and cpuset_partition_write() wait for the completion of task attach
as well.

Ideally, an ongoing task attach operation should block any cpuset write
operation that can change its internal state until the operation is
completed. However, the attach_in_progress flag is currently per cpuset
and only the destination cpuset will have this flag set. The flag is not
set in the source cpuset where the tasks will be moved from. Even if we
extend the scope to include the source cpuset, it will not block cpuset
operation that changes the state of one of its ancestor cpuset which may
indirectly impact the state of the source or destination cpuset. It may
be too costly to set the flag for the whole subtree, it is far easier
to just make the flag global and block all the cpuset write operation
whenever a task attach operation is in progress. Make that change by
creating a new cpuset attach context (attach_ctx) structure to hold the
global in_progress flag and use it for blocking cpuset write operation
if a cpuset attach operation is in progress.

The comments about validate_change() are no longer valid as it won't
be called at all if an attach operation is in progress. So the comments
can be removed.

The per-cpuset attach_in_progress flag is also currently used in
partition_is_populated() and cpuset_is_populated() to determine if
an empty cpuset will have incoming task. This check will no longer be
needed as this function will not be called when there is a task attach
in progress. So the flag check is now removed.

Expand the scope of cpuset_can_attach_check() by including the setting

from cpuset_can_fork(), set the new arguments to NULL from that caller.

[PATCH v8 07/11] cgroup/cpuset: Make attach_ctx.old_cs track task group leader

[Waiman Long]

There are two possible ways that migration of tasks from multiple source
cpusets to a target cpuset can happen. Either a multithread application
with threads in different cpusets is wholely migrated to a new cpuset
or disabling of v2 cpuset controller will move all the tasks in child
cpusets to the parent cpuset.

In the former case, it is the mm setting of the group leader that
really matters. So attach_ctx.old_cs should track the oldcs of the
thread leader. In the latter case, effective_mems of child cpusets
must always be a subset of the parent. So no real page migration
will not be necessary no matter which child cpuset is selected as
attach_ctx.old_cs.

IOW, attach_ctx.old_cs should be updated to match the latest task
group leader in cpuset_can_attach(), but fall back to that of the first
task if there is no group leader in the taskset.

[PATCH v8 08/11] cgroup/cpuset: Move mpol_rebind_mm/cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task()

[Waiman Long]

The cpuset_attach_task() was introduced in commit 42a11bf5c543
("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly")
to enable the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) to behave more like
moving a task from one cpuset into another one. That commits didn't
move the mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() calls for group leader
into cpuset_attach_task().

When the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag is used without CLONE_THREAD, the new
task is its own group leader. So it is still not equivalent to moving
task between cpusets in this case. Make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP behaves
more close to cpuset_attach() by moving the mpol_rebind_mm() and
cpuset_migrate_mm() calls inside cpuset_attach_task().

Also move the stack local cpus_updated, mems_updated and queue_task_work
flags into attach_ctx so that these flags can be accessed inside and
outside of cpuset_attach_task(). The cpuset_fork() function is updated
to set up these flags and do memory migration if necessary.

[PATCH v8 09/11] cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple source cpusets for cpuset_*attach()

[Waiman Long]

There are 2 possible scenarios where the cgroup_taskset structure
passed into the cgroup can_attach() and attach() methods can contain
task migration data with multiple source cpusets.

 - A multithread application with threads in different cpusets is
   fully migrated into a new cpuset.
 - Disabling v2 cpuset controller will move all the tasks in child
   cpusets to the parent cpuset.

The current cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach() functions still
expect task migration is from one source cpuset to one destination
cpuset.

Fix that by tracking the set of source (old) cpusets in singly linked
lists. The list will be iterated when necessary to properly update
internal data.

To ensure proper DL tasks accounting, the nr_migrate_dl_tasks in both
the source and destination cpusets are decremented/incremented with
their values added to nr_deadline_tasks when the migration is successful.

The setting of the global attach_ctx.cpus_updated and
attach_ctx.mems_updated flags are also moved from cpuset_attach()
to cpuset_can_attach() as the correct source cpuset can no longer be
determined in cpuset_attach() and cpuset states will not be changed
between cpuset_attach() and cpuset_can_attach() with an earlier patch.

[PATCH v8 10/11] cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple destination cpusets for cpuset_*attach()

[Waiman Long]

The only case where the cgroup_taskset structure requires task migration
to multiple cpusets is when enabling a cpuset controller in cgroup v2
where the newly created child cpusets inherits the same effective CPUs
and memory nodes from the parent. In that case, task migration can happen
directly with no update to tasks' CPU and memory nodes assignment and no
further work needed from the cpuset side except updating nr_deadline_tasks
when DL tasks are involved and setting old_mems_allowed in the child
cpusets.

Do that by tracking all the destination cpusets with a new dst_cs_head
singly linked list. The reset_migrate_dl_data() function is integrated
into clear_attach_data() so that it can be used for both source and
destination cpusets.

It is assumed that a given cpuset cannot be both a source and a
destination cpuset. If such condition happens or when there are multiple
destination cpusets with CPU or memory nodes changes, the current code
will not handle it correctly. So it will print a warning and fail the
attach operation in these unexpected cases as we will have to enhance the
code to support this if such use cases are valid and not coding errors.

[PATCH v8 11/11] selftests/cgroup: Add test for cpuset affinity on controller disable

[Waiman Long]

From: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com>

Add a new selftest that exposes a bug in cpuset_attach() where thread
CPU affinity is not properly updated when the cpuset controller is
disabled in a threaded cgroup hierarchy.

The test creates a threaded cgroup hierarchy with two child cgroups
(A and B) having different cpuset.cpus constraints:
- Parent: cpuset.cpus=0-1
- Child A: cpuset.cpus=0-1
- Child B: cpuset.cpus=1 (restricted to CPU 1 only)

A multithreaded process is created with threads placed in different
cgroups. When the cpuset controller is disabled on the parent, thread
affinities should be updated to match the parent's cpuset.

Expected behavior:
- thread_a affinity: {0-1} before and after (unchanged)
- thread_b affinity: {1} before, {0-1} after (expanded)

Current buggy behavior:
- thread_b affinity remains {1} after controller disable
