[PATCH v2 1/2] cgroup/cpuset: return PERR_NOCPUS in remote_partition_enable() on subpartitions_cpus conflict

[Hui Peng]

When a remote partition is created underneath an existing local partition
via a non-partition (PRS_MEMBER) intermediate cgroup, update_prstate() sees
parent->partition_root_state == PRS_MEMBER and calls
remote_partition_enable().

Commit 86888c7bd117 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add warnings to catch inconsistency
in exclusive CPUs") replaced the cpumask_intersects(tmp->new_cpus,
subpartitions_cpus) error check in remote_partition_enable() with
WARN_ON_ONCE(). As a result, remote_partition_enable() emits a warning
and proceeds to enable the remote partition on CPUs that are already
owned by the ancestor local partition in subpartitions_cpus.

This can be reproduced on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 with:

  mkdir -p /tmp/cg1
  mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/cg1
  echo "+cpuset" > /tmp/cg1/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo root > /tmp/cg1/A/cpuset.cpus.partition
  echo "+cpuset" > /tmp/cg1/A/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A/B
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/B/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/B/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo "+cpuset" > /tmp/cg1/A/B/cgroup.subtree_control

  mkdir /tmp/cg1/A/B/D
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus
  echo 1 > /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  echo root > /tmp/cg1/A/B/D/cpuset.cpus.partition

which triggers:

  WARNING: kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:1594 at remote_partition_enable+0x1c1/0x300

and leaves both /tmp/cg1/A and /tmp/cg1/A/B/D as active root partitions
claiming exclusive CPU 1.

Fix this by returning PERR_NOCPUS when tmp->new_cpus intersects
subpartitions_cpus in remote_partition_enable(), matching the error code
used by remote_cpus_update() for the same subpartitions_cpus conflict, and
add a regression test case to
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

Tested in QEMU on Linux 7.3.0-rc3 using the reproducer above and
tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh.

Changes in v2:
- Split into a 2-patch series (1/2 for remote_partition_enable(), 2/2 for
  validate_partition() and cpus_excl_conflict()).
- Return PERR_NOCPUS instead of PERR_INVCPUS when tmp->new_cpus intersects
  subpartitions_cpus to match remote_cpus_update(), as suggested by
  Guopeng Zhang.
- Add regression test to tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/test_cpuset_prs.sh
  and include the step-by-step reproducer in the commit description as
  requested by Ridong Chen.
