Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] cgroup/cpuset: return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable()
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 18:14:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920181449.3122336-1-benquike@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aa90bb73-c2af-4d13-8f2a-0435aa528058@linux.dev>
Commit 6da580ec656a ("cgroup/cpuset: Don't allow creation of local
partition over a remote one") updated update_prstate() to prevent creating
a top-level local partition whose exclusive CPUs conflict with an existing
remote partition.
However, if a top-level local partition A1 is created on CPUs 1-3, has a
non-partition member child A1/A2 with cpuset.cpus.exclusive = 1-3, and a
grandchild A1/A2/A3 is then enabled as a partition root on 1-3,
update_prstate() sees !is_partition_valid(parent) (since A1/A2 is a member)
and calls remote_partition_enable(). Because remote_partition_enable() does
not check whether tmp->new_cpus intersects subpartitions_cpus, A1/A2/A3 is
enabled as a remote partition on CPUs already owned by A1, triggering:
WARNING: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:1594 at update_prstate+0xbef/0xd70
Return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable() when tmp->new_cpus
intersects subpartitions_cpus, matching the error code used by
remote_cpus_update() for subpartitions_cpus conflicts, and add a
corresponding regression test case 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.
