[PATCH v2 3/6] selftests/cgroup: Add tests for type changes with child-owned CPUs

From: Guopeng Zhang

Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 06:01:28 EST


From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@xxxxxxxxxx>

Create an isolated child that owns a boot-isolated CPU, then change its
parent type and CPU mask. Check that the child stays isolated and the
parent remains valid.

Cache the boot-isolated CPU data during setup so this test does not depend
on an earlier test calling get_boot_isolated_cpu(). Keep the per-test check
that the selected CPU is online.
