[PATCH -next] cgroup/cpuset: Do not clear xcpus when clearing cpus

From: Chen Ridong
Date: Wed Jul 31 2024 - 05:28:33 EST


After commit 737bb142a00d ("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset.cpus.exclusive
independent of cpuset.cpus"), cpuset.cpus.exclusive and cpuset.cpus
became independent. However we found that cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
is cleared when cpuset.cpus is clear. To fix this issue, just remove xcpus
clearing when cpuset.cpus is being cleared.

It can be reproduced as below:
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
mkdir test
echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
cd test
echo 3 > cpuset.cpus.exclusive
cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
3
echo > cpuset.cpus
cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared
