Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] cgroup/cpuset: Keep the top sched domain non-empty on CPU hotplug
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:03:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110050324.173461-4-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110050324.173461-1-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev>
From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn>
In cpuset_hotplug_update_tasks(), the local partition check passes only
the partition's own effective CPUs to tasks_nocpu_error(). For a
top-level partition with children, top_cpuset_sd_nocpu() treats the
children's CPUs as being returned, although hotplug does not return
them. This can leave the top sched domain empty when its last boot
domain housekeeping CPU goes offline.
For example, on a 32-CPU system with isolcpus=domain,10-31:
echo 0,2-9 > A/cpuset.cpus
echo root > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 5-9 > A/B/cpuset.cpus
echo root > A/B/cpuset.cpus.partition
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Oops: general protection fault
RIP: 0010:build_perf_domains+...
The remote hotplug path does not check whether the top sched domain
is empty.
Check the full effective_xcpus of top-level local and remote partitions
without assuming any CPUs have been returned. Only invalidate a
partition to restore the top domain if it can return an active boot
domain housekeeping CPU. Partitions holding only boot-isolated or
offline housekeeping CPUs cannot do that.
Add hotplug regression tests.
Fixes: 9b496a8bbed9 ("cgroup/cpuset: Prevent leakage of isolated CPUs into sched domains")
