When a CPU hot removal causes a v1 cpuset to lose all its CPUs, the
cpuset hotplug handler will schedule a work function to migrate tasks
in that cpuset with no CPU to its ancestor to enable those tasks to
continue running.
If a strict security policy is in place, however, the task migration
may fail when security_task_setscheduler() call in cpuset_can_attach()
returns a -EACCES error. That will mean that those tasks will have
no CPU to run on. The system administrators will have to explicitly
intervene to either add CPUs to that cpuset or move the tasks elsewhere
if they are aware of it.
This problem was found by a reported test failure in the LTP's
cpuset_hotplug_test.sh. Fix this problem by treating this special case as
an exception to skip the setsched security check in cpuset_can_attach()
when a v1 cpuset with tasks have no CPU left.
With that patch applied, the cpuset_hotplug_test.sh test can be run
successfully without failure.

cgroup_drain_dying() was using cgroup_is_populated() to test whether there are
dying tasks to wait for. cgroup_is_populated() tests nr_populated_csets,
nr_populated_domain_children and nr_populated_threaded_children, but
cgroup_drain_dying() only needs to care about this cgroup's own tasks - whether
there are children is cgroup_destroy_locked()'s concern.
This caused hangs during shutdown. When systemd tried to rmdir a cgroup that had
no direct tasks but had a populated child, cgroup_drain_dying() would enter its
wait loop because cgroup_is_populated() was true from
nr_populated_domain_children. The task iterator found nothing to wait for, yet
the populated state never cleared because it was driven by live tasks in the
child cgroup.
Fix it by using cgroup_has_tasks() which only tests nr_populated_csets.

a72f73c4dd ("cgroup: Don't expose dead tasks in cgroup") hid PF_EXITING
tasks from cgroup.procs so that systemd doesn't see tasks that have already
been reaped via waitpid(). However, the populated counter (nr_populated_csets)
is only decremented when the task later passes through cgroup_task_dead() in
finish_task_switch(). This means cgroup.procs can appear empty while the
cgroup is still populated, causing rmdir to fail with -EBUSY.
Fix this by making cgroup_rmdir() wait for dying tasks to fully leave. If the
cgroup is populated but all remaining tasks have PF_EXITING set (the task
iterator returns none due to the existing filter), wait for a kick from
cgroup_task_dead() and retry. The wait is brief as tasks are removed from the
cgroup's css_set between PF_EXITING assertion in do_exit() and
cgroup_task_dead() in finish_task_switch().
v2: cgroup_is_populated() true to false transition happens under css_set_lock
not cgroup_mutex, so retest under css_set_lock before sleeping to avoid
missed wakeups (Sebastian).

Once a task exits it has its state set to TASK_DEAD and then it is
removed from the cgroup it belonged to. The last step happens on the task
gets out of its last schedule() invocation and is delayed on PREEMPT_RT
due to locking constraints.
As a result it is possible to receive a pid via waitpid() of a task
which is still listed in cgroup.procs for the cgroup it belonged
to. This is something that systemd does not expect and as a result it
waits for its exit until a time out occurs.
This can also be reproduced on !PREEMPT_RT kernel with a significant
delay in do_exit() after exit_notify().
Hide the task from the output which have PF_EXITING set which is done
before the parent is notified. Keeping zombies with live threads
shouldn't break anything (suggested by Tejun).

Besides deferring the call to housekeeping_update(), commit 6df415aa46
("cgroup/cpuset: Defer housekeeping_update() calls from CPU hotplug
to workqueue") also defers the rebuild_sched_domains() call to
the workqueue. So a new offline CPU may still be in a sched domain
or new online CPU not showing up in the sched domains for a short
transition period. That could be a problem in some corner cases and
can be the cause of a reported test failure[1]. Fix it by calling
rebuild_sched_domains_cpuslocked() directly in hotplug as before. If
isolated partition invalidation or recreation is being done, the
housekeeping_update() call to update the housekeeping cpumasks will
still be deferred to a workqueue.
In commit 3bfe479671 ("cgroup/cpuset: Move
housekeeping_update()/rebuild_sched_domains() together"),
housekeeping_update() is called before rebuild_sched_domains() because
it needs to access the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask. That is now
changed to use the static HK_TYPE_DOMAIN_BOOT cpumask as HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
cpumask is now changeable at run time. As a result, we can move the
rebuild_sched_domains() call before housekeeping_update() with
the slight advantage that it will be done in the same cpus_read_lock
critical section without the possibility of interference by a concurrent
cpu hot add/remove operation.
As it doesn't make sense to acquire cpuset_mutex/cpuset_top_mutex after
calling housekeeping_update() and immediately release them again, move
the cpuset_full_unlock() operation inside update_hk_sched_domains()
and rename it to cpuset_update_sd_hk_unlock() to signify that it will
release the full set of locks.

The current cpuset partition code is able to dynamically update
the sched domains of a running system and the corresponding
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask to perform what is essentially the
"isolcpus=domain,..." boot command line feature at run time.
The housekeeping cpumask update requires flushing a number of different
workqueues which may not be safe with cpus_read_lock() held as the
workqueue flushing code may acquire cpus_read_lock() or acquiring locks
which have locking dependency with cpus_read_lock() down the chain. Below
is an example of such circular locking problem.

To avoid such a circular locking dependency problem, we have to
call housekeeping_update() without holding the cpus_read_lock() and
cpuset_mutex. The current set of wq's flushed by housekeeping_update()
may not have work functions that call cpus_read_lock() directly,
but we are likely to extend the list of wq's that are flushed in the
future. Moreover, the current set of work functions may hold locks that
may have cpu_hotplug_lock down the dependency chain.
So housekeeping_update() is now called after releasing cpus_read_lock
and cpuset_mutex at the end of a cpuset operation. These two locks are
then re-acquired later before calling rebuild_sched_domains_locked().
To enable mutual exclusion between the housekeeping_update() call and
other cpuset control file write actions, a new top level cpuset_top_mutex
is introduced. This new mutex will be acquired first to allow sharing
variables used by both code paths. However, cpuset update from CPU
hotplug can still happen in parallel with the housekeeping_update()
call, though that should be rare in production environment.
As cpus_read_lock() is now no longer held when
tmigr_isolated_exclude_cpumask() is called, it needs to acquire it
directly.
The lockdep_is_cpuset_held() is also updated to return true if either
cpuset_top_mutex or cpuset_mutex is held.

The cpuset_handle_hotplug() may need to invoke housekeeping_update(),
for instance, when an isolated partition is invalidated because its
last active CPU has been put offline.
As we are going to enable dynamic update to the nozh_full housekeeping
cpumask (HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE) soon with the help of CPU hotplug,
allowing the CPU hotplug path to call into housekeeping_update() directly
from update_isolation_cpumasks() will likely cause deadlock. So we
have to defer any call to housekeeping_update() after the CPU hotplug
operation has finished. This is now done via the workqueue where
the update_hk_sched_domains() function will be invoked via the
hk_sd_workfn().
An concurrent cpuset control file write may have executed the required
update_hk_sched_domains() function before the work function is called. So
the work function call may become a no-op when it is invoked.

With the latest changes in sched/isolation.c, rebuild_sched_domains*()
requires the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask to be properly
updated first, if needed, before the sched domains can be
rebuilt. So the two naturally fit together. Do that by creating a new
update_hk_sched_domains() helper to house both actions.
The name of the isolated_cpus_updating flag to control the
call to housekeeping_update() is now outdated. So change it to
update_housekeeping to better reflect its purpose. Also move the call
to update_hk_sched_domains() to the end of cpuset and hotplug operations
before releasing the cpuset_mutex.

costly than before. Right now, the isolated_cpus_updating flag can be

checks to make sure that isolated_cpus_updating is set only if there

Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion",
v9.
This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(),
can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion.
1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check
demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a)
pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion
even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes.
Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and
mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly
logic-and operation against demotion targets.
2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it
does not check the node against allowed nodes.
Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed
node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node.
This patch (of 2):
Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect
demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion.
Commit 7d709f49ba ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim")
introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote().
However:
1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads
to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are
explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems.
2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy
and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote().
This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next
demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective.
These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems. This is
visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted
entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory
systems.
To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and
mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly
logic-and operation against demotion targets. Also update can_demote()
and demote_folio_list() accordingly.

When a task is migrated out of a css_set, cgroup_migrate_add_task()
first moves it from cset->tasks to cset->mg_tasks via:
list_move_tail(&task->cg_list, &cset->mg_tasks);
If a css_task_iter currently has it->task_pos pointing to this task,
css_set_move_task() calls css_task_iter_skip() to keep the iterator
valid. However, since the task has already been moved to ->mg_tasks,
the iterator is advanced relative to the mg_tasks list instead of the
original tasks list. As a result, remaining tasks on cset->tasks, as
well as tasks queued on cset->mg_tasks, can be skipped by iteration.
Fix this by calling css_set_skip_task_iters() before unlinking
task->cg_list from cset->tasks. This advances all active iterators to
the next task on cset->tasks, so iteration continues correctly even
when a task is concurrently being migrated.
This race is hard to hit in practice without instrumentation, but it
can be reproduced by artificially slowing down cgroup_procs_show().
For example, on an Android device a temporary
/sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test knob can be added to inject a delay
into cgroup_procs_show(), and then:
1) Spawn three long-running tasks (PIDs 101, 102, 103).
2) Create a test cgroup and move the tasks into it.
3) Enable a large delay via /sys/kernel/cgroup/cgroup_test.
4) In one shell, read cgroup.procs from the test cgroup.
5) Within the delay window, in another shell migrate PID 102 by
writing it to a different cgroup.procs file.
Under this setup, cgroup.procs can intermittently show only PID 101
while skipping PID 103. Once the migration completes, reading the
file again shows all tasks as expected.
Note that this change does not allow removing the existing
css_set_skip_task_iters() call in css_set_move_task(). The new call
in cgroup_migrate_add_task() only handles iterators that are racing
with migration while the task is still on cset->tasks. Iterators may
also start after the task has been moved to cset->mg_tasks. If we
dropped css_set_skip_task_iters() from css_set_move_task(), such
iterators could keep task_pos pointing to a migrating task, causing
css_task_iter_advance() to malfunction on the destination css_set,
up to and including crashes or infinite loops.
The race window between migration and iteration is very small, and
css_task_iter is not on a hot path. In the worst case, when an
iterator is positioned on the first thread of the migrating process,
cgroup_migrate_add_task() may have to skip multiple tasks via
css_set_skip_task_iters(). However, this only happens when migration
and iteration actually race, so the performance impact is negligible
compared to the correctness fix provided here.

affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against
housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events.
One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
the way.
Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated
partitions.
The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
suggestion.
As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset

specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making nohz_full=

...
When cpuset isolated partitions get updated, unbound kthreads get
indifferently affine to all non isolated CPUs, regardless of their
individual affinity preferences.
For example kswapd is a per-node kthread that prefers to be affine to
the node it refers to. Whenever an isolated partition is created,
updated or deleted, kswapd's node affinity is going to be broken if any
CPU in the related node is not isolated because kswapd will be affine
globally.
Fix this with letting the consolidated kthread managed affinity code do
the affinity update on behalf of cpuset.

Until now, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN used to only include boot defined isolated
CPUs passed through isolcpus= boot option. Users interested in also
knowing the runtime defined isolated CPUs through cpuset must use
different APIs: cpuset_cpu_is_isolated(), cpu_is_isolated(), etc...
There are many drawbacks to that approach:
1) Most interested subsystems want to know about all isolated CPUs, not
just those defined on boot time.
2) cpuset_cpu_is_isolated() / cpu_is_isolated() are not synchronized with
concurrent cpuset changes.
3) Further cpuset modifications are not propagated to subsystems
Solve 1) and 2) and centralize all isolated CPUs within the
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask.
Subsystems can rely on RCU to synchronize against concurrent changes.
The propagation mentioned in 3) will be handled in further patches.

The issue occurs because a pool can still be held by a caller after its

the pool even if users still hold references to it (e.g., before uncharge

This patch adds a reference counter to each pool, ensuring that a pool is
only freed when its reference count drops to zero.

The update_sibling_cpumasks function was called to synchronize siblings'

parent effective CPU changes should not affect partition-effective CPUs.
To fix this issue, update_cpumasks_hier should only be invoked when the

As stated in commit 1c09b195d3 ("cpuset: fix a regression in validating
config change"), it is not allowed to clear masks of a cpuset if
there're tasks in it. This is specific to v1 since empty "cpuset.cpus"
or "cpuset.mems" will cause the v2 cpuset to inherit the effective CPUs
or memory nodes from its parent. So it is OK to have empty cpus or mems
even if there are tasks in the cpuset.
Move this empty cpus/mems check in validate_change() to
cpuset1_validate_change() to allow more flexibility in setting
cpus or mems in v2. cpuset_is_populated() needs to be moved into
cpuset-internal.h as it is needed by the empty cpus/mems checking code.
Also add a test case to test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify that.

Currently, when setting a cpuset's cpuset.cpus to a value that conflicts
with the cpuset.cpus/cpuset.cpus.exclusive of a sibling partition,
the sibling's partition state becomes invalid. This is overly harsh and
is probably not necessary.
The cpuset.cpus.exclusive control file, if set, will override the
cpuset.cpus of the same cpuset when creating a cpuset partition.
So cpuset.cpus has less priority than cpuset.cpus.exclusive in setting up
a partition. However, it cannot override a conflicting cpuset.cpus file
in a sibling cpuset and the partition creation process will fail. This
is inconsistent. That will also make using cpuset.cpus.exclusive less
valuable as a tool to set up cpuset partitions as the users have to
check if such a cpuset.cpus conflict exists or not.
Fix these problems by making sure that once a cpuset.cpus.exclusive
is set without failure, it will always be allowed to form a valid
partition as long as at least one CPU can be granted from its parent
irrespective of the state of the siblings' cpuset.cpus values. Of
course, setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive will fail if it conflicts with
the cpuset.cpus.exclusive or the cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective value
of a sibling.
Partition can still be created by setting only cpuset.cpus without
setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive. However, any conflicting CPUs in sibling's
cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective and cpuset.cpus.exclusive values will
be removed from its cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective as long as there
is still one or more CPUs left and can be granted from its parent. This
CPU stripping is currently done in rm_siblings_excl_cpus().
The new code will now try its best to enable the creation of new
partitions with only cpuset.cpus set without invalidating existing ones.
However it is not guaranteed that all the CPUs requested in cpuset.cpus
will be used in the new partition even when all these CPUs can be
granted from the parent.
This is similar to the fact that cpuset.cpus.effective may not be
able to include all the CPUs requested in cpuset.cpus. In this case,
the parent may not able to grant all the exclusive CPUs requested in
cpuset.cpus to cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective if some of them have
already been granted to other partitions earlier.
With the creation of multiple sibling partitions by setting
only cpuset.cpus, this does have the side effect that their exact
cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective settings will depend on the order of
partition creation if there are conflicts. Due to the exclusive nature
of the CPUs in a partition, it is not easy to make it fair other than
the old behavior of invalidating all the conflicting partitions.
For example,
# echo "0-2" > A1/cpuset.cpus
# echo "root" > A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
root
# cat A1/cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
0-2
# echo "2-4" > B1/cpuset.cpus
# echo "root" > B1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat B1/cpuset.cpus.partition
root
# cat B1/cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
3-4
# cat B1/cpuset.cpus.effective
3-4
For users who want to be sure that they can get most of the CPUs they
want, cpuset.cpus.exclusive should be used instead if they can set
it successfully without failure. Setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive will
guarantee that sibling conflicts from then onward is no longer possible.
To make this change, we have to separate out the is_cpu_exclusive()
check in cpus_excl_conflict() into a cgroup v1 only
cpuset1_cpus_excl_conflict() helper. The cpus_allowed_validate_change()
helper is now no longer needed and can be removed.
Some existing tests in test_cpuset_prs.sh are updated and new ones are
added to reflect the new behavior. The cgroup-v2.rst doc file is also
updated the clarify what exclusive CPUs will be used when a partition
is created.

Commit fe8cd2736e ("cgroup/cpuset: Delay setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE

of a new cpuset.cpus.exclusive value that is a superset of a sibling's
cpuset.cpus value so that there will at least be one CPU left in the
sibling in case the cpuset becomes a valid partition root. This new
check does have the side effect of failing a cpuset.cpus change that
make it a subset of a sibling's cpuset.cpus.exclusive value.
With v2, users are supposed to be allowed to set whatever value they
want in cpuset.cpus without failure. To maintain this rule, the check
is now restricted to only when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is being changed
not when cpuset.cpus is changed.

compute_excpus() in commit 86bbbd1f33 ("cpuset: Refactor exclusive

This helper is supposed to be used consistently to compute

critical section in update_cpumasks_hier() when exclusive_cpus of a

differ depending on where exactly it is last computed. Fix this by using

The cgrp_ancestor_storage has two drawbacks:
- it's not guaranteed that the member immediately follows struct cgrp in
cgroup_root (root cgroup's ancestors[0] might thus point to a padding
and not in cgrp_ancestor_storage proper),
- this idiom raises warnings with -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.
Instead of relying on the auxiliary member in cgroup_root, define the
0-th level ancestor inside struct cgroup (needed for static allocation
of cgrp_dfl_root), deeper cgroups would allocate flexible
_low_ancestors[]. Unionized alias through ancestors[] will
transparently join the two ranges.
The above change would still leave the flexible array at the end of
struct cgroup inside cgroup_root, so move cgrp also towards the end of
cgroup_root to resolve the -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.

The generate_sched_domains() function currently handles both v1 and v2
logic. However, the underlying mechanisms for building scheduler domains
differ significantly between the two versions. For cpuset v2, scheduler
domains are straightforwardly derived from valid partitions, whereas
cpuset v1 employs a more complex union-find algorithm to merge overlapping
cpusets. Co-locating these implementations complicates maintenance.
This patch, along with subsequent ones, aims to separate the v1 and v2
logic. For ease of review, this patch first copies the
generate_sched_domains() function into cpuset-v1.c as
cpuset1_generate_sched_domains() and removes v2-specific code. Common
helpers and top_cpuset are declared in cpuset-internal.h. When operating
in v1 mode, the code now calls cpuset1_generate_sched_domains().
Currently there is some code duplication, which will be largely eliminated
once v1-specific code is removed from v2 in the following patch.

Since relax_domain_level is only applicable to v1, move
update_domain_attr_tree() to cpuset-v1.c, which solely updates
relax_domain_level,
Additionally, relax_domain_level is now initialized in cpuset1_inited.
Accordingly, the initialization of relax_domain_level in top_cpuset is
removed. The unnecessary remote_partition initialization in top_cpuset
is also cleaned up.
As a result, relax_domain_level can be defined in cpuset only when
CONFIG_CPUSETS_V1=y.
