[PATCH-next 3/5] cgroup/cpuset: Do housekeeping check before converting invalid partition to valid
From: Waiman Long
Date: Sat Oct 10 2026 - 04:31:27 EST
When a hotplug event happens or when update_cpumasks_hier() is called, an
invalid partition may be converted back to valid. However check against
housekeeping conflict isn't being done which can lead to a partition
state that violates the housekeeping rules. Update the code to allow
reviving an invalid partition only if it can pass the housekeeping check.
Fixes: 4a74e418881f ("cgroup/cpuset: Check partition conflict with housekeeping setup")
