[PATCH v2 0/3] cgroup/cpuset: Fix v1 task migration failure from empty cpuset

From: Waiman Long

Date: Sun Mar 29 2026 - 13:40:25 EST


v2:
- Add a new CS_TASKS_OUT flag to signal that task migration out of
empty cpuset is allowed without setsched security check as suggested
by Tejun.
- Add 2 more patches with minor changes.

As it is found that the cpuset v1 task migration out of cpuset with no
CPU can be blocked by a strict security policy, we need to work around
that issue by treating it as an exceptional case that is allowed without
security check. This is now enabled by setting a special CS_TASKS_OUT
flag of the affected cpuset to allow cpuset_can_attach() to skip security
check in this special case.

Waiman Long (3):
cgroup/cpuset: Simplify setsched decision check in task iteration loop
of cpuset_can_attach()
cgroup/cpuset: Skip security check for hotplug induced v1 task
migration
cgroup/cpuset: Improve check for v1 task migration out of empty cpuset
