Subject: [PATCH-next 5/5] selftests/cgroup: Add tests for housekeeping check
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 04:28:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010082848.193182-6-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010082848.193182-1-longman@redhat.com>
Whenever a partition is enabled or the cpumask of a valid partition
changes, a housekeeping check will be performed to ensure that the
change won't violate the imposed housekeeping constraints. One of the
constraints is that a boot-time isolated CPU will not be used to form
a non-isolated root partition. This requires the presence of boot-time
isolated CPUs when a test is run.
The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script is now updated to run a set a
special housekeeping check tests that will only be run if a suitable
boot-time isolated CPU is present. This will enable us to detect bugs
or regressions in the housekeeping checking code though a "isolcpus="
boot parameter with CPUs beyond CPU 8 must be present.
Adding test to check for exhaustion of all the housekeeping CPUs is
much harder and so will not be attempted at this time.
