Subject: [PATCH] cgroup/cpuset: Cancel CPU transfer when housekeeping check fails
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 16:56:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923085624.172022-1-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn>
Widening an isolated child partition to include the last kernel-noise
housekeeping CPU invalidates the partition, but the CPU transfer
computed before the housekeeping check is still applied:
WARNING: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:1315 at partition_xcpus_add+0x61/0x70, CPU#1: sh/1052
Call Trace:
<TASK>
update_parent_effective_cpumask+0x320/0xa30
cpuset_write_resmask+0x1e6/0x7c0
</TASK>
---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
This can be reproduced on a 32-CPU system booted with nohz_full=1:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir A B C C/child
echo 0 > A/cpuset.cpus
echo isolated > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 4-31 > B/cpuset.cpus
echo isolated > B/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo +cpuset > C/cgroup.subtree_control
echo 2-3 > C/cpuset.cpus
echo root > C/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 3 > C/child/cpuset.cpus
echo isolated > C/child/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 2-3 > C/child/cpuset.cpus
The last write returns 0 and leaves the hierarchy in this state:
root (cpuset.cpus.effective=1)
|
+-- A (isolated): cpuset.cpus=0
| cpuset.cpus.effective=0
+-- B (isolated): cpuset.cpus=4-31
| cpuset.cpus.effective=4-31
\-- C (root): cpuset.cpus=2-3
| cpuset.cpus.effective=<empty>
\-- C/child (invalid isolated):
cpuset.cpus=2-3
cpuset.cpus.effective=<empty>
Before the last write, C owns CPU 2 and C/child owns CPU 3. The last
write changes C/child's CPU mask from 3 to 2-3, which would transfer
CPU 2 from C to C/child.
The housekeeping check invalidates C/child, but delmask still contains
CPU 2 while addmask is empty. partition_xcpus_add() therefore removes
CPU 2 from C and warns because the new partition state is invalid.
CPU 3 is not returned when C/child is invalidated, leaving both CPUs
unavailable to any valid partition.
Handle PERR_HKEEPING like PERR_NOCPUS: cancel the pending transfer and
rebuild addmask from the CPUs currently held by the child. This leaves
CPU 2 in C and returns CPU 3 to C.
Fixes: 103b08709e8a ("cgroup/cpuset: Fail if isolated and nohz_full don't leave any housekeeping")
