Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] cgroup/cpuset: Respect child CPU ownership in type changes
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 17:56:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828095643.13395-2-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828095643.13395-1-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev>

From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn>

effective_xcpus includes CPUs granted to valid child partitions. Changing
a parent between root and isolated must not apply its new isolation state
or housekeeping constraints to those CPUs.

For example, on a cgroup v2 system with CPUs 0-3 online:

    cd /sys/fs/cgroup
    echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir type-repro
    echo 1-3 > type-repro/cpuset.cpus
    echo isolated > type-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
    echo +cpuset > type-repro/cgroup.subtree_control
    mkdir type-repro/child
    echo 2-3 > type-repro/child/cpuset.cpus
    echo isolated > type-repro/child/cpuset.cpus.partition
    echo root > type-repro/cpuset.cpus.partition
    cat cpuset.cpus.isolated

The isolated mask should still contain CPUs 2-3 after the parent becomes a
root partition. Without this change, those CPUs are removed even though
the child remains isolated.

Compute the CPUs owned directly by a partition by subtracting the
effective_xcpus of valid children. Use this mask for type-change isolation
accounting and housekeeping checks. Apply the same ownership rule when
validating a trial CPU mask; otherwise a later CPU-mask update can mark a
parent invalid because of a boot-isolated CPU owned by a valid child.

Limiting the parent check to directly owned CPUs also allows a root child
to hold the last housekeeping CPU while its parent becomes isolated. If
the child then becomes a member, returning that CPU to the isolated parent
would violate the housekeeping constraint. The transition back to member
must remain allowed, so invalidate the outermost isolated ancestor and
return its CPUs to a root partition.

Sashiko pointed out the trial-validation and CPU-return gaps while
reviewing the original series.
