[PATCH v2 6/6] selftests/cgroup: Add CPU release tests for type-change validation failures

From: Guopeng Zhang

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 05:57:36 EST


From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@xxxxxxxxxx>

Exercise housekeeping validation failures for local and remote partition
type changes. Check that the requested partition type becomes invalid,
its CPUs are returned to the top cpuset and their boot-time isolation
state is preserved.
