Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] cgroup/cpuset: Keep an active housekeeping CPU in the top sched domain
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 21:42:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111134250.16852-2-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111134250.16852-1-guopeng.zhang@linux.dev>

From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@kylinos.cn>

Boot-isolated CPUs remain in top_cpuset.effective_cpus, but are excluded
from its scheduling domain. A partition can therefore take all boot
domain housekeeping CPUs while leaving effective_cpus nonempty. For
example, on a 32-CPU system with all CPUs online and
isolcpus=domain,10-31:

  echo 0-9 > A/cpuset.cpus
  echo root > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
  Oops: general protection fault
  RIP: 0010:build_perf_domains+...

tasks_nocpu_error() also rejects valid CPU replacements because it does
not account for CPUs returned by the update. With a fresh cgroup A under
the same boot configuration:

  echo 2-31 > A/cpuset.cpus
  echo isolated > A/cpuset.cpus.partition
  echo 0-4 > A/cpuset.cpus
  cat A/cpuset.cpus.partition
  isolated invalid (Parent unable to distribute cpu downstream)

The update should return CPUs 5-31 to top_cpuset, including housekeeping
CPUs 5-9, and leave A valid. This replacement failure also occurs without
boot isolation and under populated local parents.

Extend tasks_nocpu_error() to take an explicit mask of CPUs being
returned and use it for local and remote updates. Require an active
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT CPU to remain in top_cpuset. For other populated
parents, check within their current exclusive grant so an ancestor
update cannot credit CPUs that the parent no longer owns.

CPU hotplug can also empty the top scheduling domain. Pass no returned
CPUs during its availability check, and only invalidate a partition to
restore the top domain if it can return an active boot domain
housekeeping CPU. Still invalidate a populated partition that has no
active CPU of its own.

Fixes: 9b496a8bbed9 ("cgroup/cpuset: Prevent leakage of isolated CPUs into sched domains")
Fixes: 0c7f293efc87 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective for v2")
