Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] cgroup/cpuset: prevent local partition activation over remote partition and sibling xcpus conflict
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 08:23:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920082335.257680-2-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260920082335.257680-1-benquike@gmail.com>

Commit 6da580ec656a ("cgroup/cpuset: Don't allow creation of local
partition over a remote one") added a check in update_prstate() to reject
creating a top-level local partition whose cs->exclusive_cpus intersects
subpartitions_cpus.

However, two paths still allow overlapping exclusive CPU ownership between
a top-level local partition and a remote partition or sibling:

1. If a top-level cgroup A1 has cpuset.cpus.exclusive set, is first set to
   "root" while cpuset.cpus is empty (becoming "root invalid"), has a
   child A1/A2 enabled as a remote partition on those exclusive CPUs, and
   then receives CPUs via A1/cpuset.cpus, update_cpumasks_hier() calls
   validate_partition() without going through update_prstate(). Because
   validate_partition() does not check trialcs->exclusive_cpus against
   subpartitions_cpus, A1 transitions from "root invalid" to a valid local
   partition over the existing remote partition A1/A2 and triggers:

     WARNING: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:1866 at update_parent_effective_cpumask+0x54a/0x8a0

2. In cpus_excl_conflict(), when a valid local partition A1 uses implicit
   exclusive CPUs (cpuset.cpus set without cpuset.cpus.exclusive, so
   sibling->exclusive_cpus is empty while sibling->effective_xcpus is
   populated), a sibling cgroup B1 can still set cpuset.cpus.exclusive on
   the same CPUs because cpus_excl_conflict() only checks
   sibling->exclusive_cpus.

Fix these issues by:
- Checking trialcs->exclusive_cpus against subpartitions_cpus in
  validate_partition() when !is_partition_valid(cs).
- Falling back to sibling->effective_xcpus in cpus_excl_conflict() when
  sibling->exclusive_cpus is empty.
- Adding regression test cases for both paths to
  tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

Tested in QEMU on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

Changes in v2:
- Split from the remote_partition_enable() fix into patch 2/2.
- Check trialcs->exclusive_cpus (rather than effective_xcpus) in
  validate_partition() when !is_partition_valid(cs) so sibling local
  partitions with overlapping cpuset.cpus continue to share remaining
  available CPUs as expected by test_cpuset_prs.sh.
- Add regression tests to tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.
