Hello Waiman,
I could test the patch using the for-next branch in your tree.
Just a NIT, it seemed that the message indicating the reason
the isolated configuration was invalid is not printed anymore:
Commands:
# mkdir cgroup
# mount -t cgroup2 none cgroup/
# mkdir cgroup/A1 cgroup/B1
# echo "+cpuset" > cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
# echo 0-3 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# echo 4-6 > cgroup/B1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated
# echo 0-4 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated invalid <--- used to have '(Cpu list in
cpuset.cpus not exclusive)'
# echo 0-3 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated <--- now working!
But when creating an isolated partition from overlapping cpusets,
the message is printed:
# mkdir cgroup
# mount -t cgroup2 none cgroup/
# mkdir cgroup/A1 cgroup/B1
# echo "+cpuset" > cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
# echo 0-4 > cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus
# echo 4-6 > cgroup/B1/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > cgroup/B1/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat cgroup/A1/cpuset.cpus.partition
member
# cat cgroup/B1/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated invalid (Cpu list in cpuset.cpus not exclusive) <--- Complete
message printed
I might have misread it yesterday. The current behavior is correct. A
valid partition requires exclusive access to the CPUs among the
siblings. So it won't allow the cpuset to become valid partition if that
is the not case. This behavior is the same as cgroup v1's
"cpuset.cpu_exclusive".
As soon as the cpu list is adjusted in B1 to avoid cpu list overlap, it
will become a valid partition. However, change to A1 to avoid cpu
overlap won't affect the state of B1. You will have to echo "root" to
B1's cpuset.cpus.partition to make it valid again.

When a local partition becomes invalid, it won't transition back to
valid partition automatically if a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" or
"cpuset.cpus" change is made. Instead, system administrators have to
explicitly echo "root" or "isolated" into the "cpuset.cpus.partition"
file at the partition root.
This patch now enables the automatic transition of an invalid local
partition back to valid when there is a proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive"
or "cpuset.cpus" change.
Automatic transition of an invalid remote partition to a valid one,
however, is not covered by this patch. They still need an explicit
write to "cpuset.cpus.partition" to become valid again.
I'm not sure I understand what is meant by 'remote partition',
is it possible to explain ? Or is the following illustrating what you
mean ?
Remote partition is a newly added feature where the parent of a
partition root needs not be a partition root at all. In this case, we
will have to use the new cpuset.cpus.exclusive control file to pass down
the hierarchy exclusive CPUs that can be used to form a partition. It is
a feature request from Red Hat's OpenShift team to create containers
with isolated CPUs which is at least 2 layers down from the root.
The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script is updated to add new test cases to
test this automatic state transition.
