[PATCH v2] cgroup/cpuset-v1: Add missing support for cpuset_v2_mode

From: T.J. Mercier
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 19:53:33 EST


Android has mounted the v1 cpuset controller using filesystem type
"cpuset" (not "cgroup") since 2015 [1], and depends on the resulting
behavior where the controller name is not added as a prefix for cgroupfs
files. [2]

Later, a problem was discovered where cpu hotplug onlining did not
affect the cpuset/cpus files, which Android carried an out-of-tree patch
to address for a while. An attempt was made to upstream this patch, but
the recommendation was to use the "cpuset_v2_mode" mount option
instead. [3]

An effort was made to do so, but this fails with "cgroup: Unknown
parameter 'cpuset_v2_mode'" because commit e1cba4b85daa ("cgroup: Add
mount flag to enable cpuset to use v2 behavior in v1 cgroup") did not
update the special cased cpuset_mount(), and only the cgroup (v1)
filesystem type was updated.

Add parameter parsing to the cpuset filesystem type so that
cpuset_v2_mode works like the cgroup filesystem type:

$ mkdir /dev/cpuset
$ mount -t cpuset -ocpuset_v2_mode none /dev/cpuset
$ mount|grep cpuset
none on /dev/cpuset type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuset,noprefix,cpuset_v2_mode,release_agent=/sbin/cpuset_release_agent)
