Subject: [PATCH-next v2 02/10] cgroup/cpuset: Properly compute effective xcpus in update_parent_effective_cpumask()
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 16:00:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261023200036.60560-3-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261023200036.60560-1-longman@redhat.com>
Since the introduction of cpuset.cpus.exclusive in commit
e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for v2"), a
compute_effective_exclusive_cpumask() helper which is later renamed to
compute_excpus() is added to compute the effective xcpus of a partition
root. However update_parent_effective_cpumask() is not updated in all
proper places to use the new helper to check if a given cpuset should
remain a valid partition root. This can cause a cpuset to incorrectly
remain a valid partition root even if no effective xcpus is left.
Fix that problem by using compute_excpus() to compute the effective xcpus
into delmask in all cases except partcmd_disable, partcmd_invalidate
or partcmd_update with newmask set and use it for tasks_nocpu_error()
check as well as checking its emptiness. This enables us to catch invalid
partition root more accurately in update_parent_effective_cpumask().
In the case of partcmd_update with newmask set, the passed in new
effective xcpus value will directly be used in the tasks_nocpu_error()
check without relying on old data in the cpuset.
Some test case are added to test_cpuset_prs.sh for invalidating a
partition root due to its effective xcpus becoming empty as well as
making sure that an invalid partition can only be revived when exclusive
CPUs are available agin.
Fixes: e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for v2")
