[PATCH-next v9 00/11] cgroup/cpuset: Support multiple source/destination cpusets for cpuset_*attach()
From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 23:34:23 EST
v9:
- Drop Farhad's mm mempolicy rebind fix patch as it has been merged to
linux-next via the mm tree.
- Add a new patch to make nr_deadline_tasks an atomic_t to prevent
data corruption due to concurrent update & adjust some later patches
accordingly.
- Add a new wait_attach_done_lock() helper for waiting ongoing task
operation as suggested by Ridong.
v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260626181923.133658-1-longman@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Update patch 3 to make attach_in_progress a global flag which block
all cpuset write operations until the attach is done.
- Add a new patch 4 to collect most of the attach related variables
into a attach_ctx structure as suggested by Ridong.
- Add a test_cpuset selftest patch contributed by Michal Koutný.
- Keep the existing Reviewed-by tags as there is no functional change
to the other patches other than rename of some variables. Also add
some new tags.
v7: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260621032816.1806773-1-longman@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Include the fix patch from Farhad Alemi to fix a div/0 crash that
was part of the old patch 1.
- Integrated v6 patch 7 into earlier patches.
- Add a new "cgroup/cpuset: Prevent race between task attach and
cpuset state change" patch to ensure that there will be no cpuset
state change between cpuset_can_attach() and cpuset_attach() or
cpuset_cancel_attach().
- Break v6 patch 6 into 2 separate patches for supporting multiple
source cpusets and multiple destination cpusets respectively and
further simplify and streamline the code.
Sashiko AI review of another cpuset patch had found that cpuset_attach()
and cpuset_can_attach() can be passed a cgroup_taskset with tasks
migrating from one source cpuset to multiple destination cpusets and
vice versa. Further testing of the cpuset code indicates that this is
indeed the case when the v2 cpuset controller is enabled or disabled.
Unfortunately, cpuset_attach() and cpuset_can_attach() still assume that
there will be one source and one destinaton cpuset which may result in
inocrrect behavior.
This patch series is created to fix this issue.
Patch 1 is to fix another nr_deadline_tasks data corruption problem
reported by sashiko by making it an atomic_t data type.
Patch 2 is to fix an inconsistency in the way node mask update is being
handled in cpuset_update_tasks_nodemask() and cpuset_attach() so that
they match each other.
Patch 3 makes any cpuset state change to wait for the completion of the
pending cpuset attach operation, if any.
Patch 4 collects task attach related data into a common attach_ctx
structure.
Patches 5 and 6 are just preparatory patches to make the remaining
patches easier to review.
Patch 7 makes attach_ctx.old_cs track group leader for use by
cpuset_migrate_mm().
Patch 8 moves mpol_rebind_mm() and cpuset_migrate_mm() inside
cpuset_attach_task() to make CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag of clone(2) works
more like moving task from one cpuset to another one, while also make
supporting multiple source and destination cpusets easier.
Patch 9 makes the necessary changes to enable the support of multiple
source cpusets by keeping all the source cpusets found during task
iterations in a singly linked lists.
Patch 10 enables the support of multiple destination cpusets during the
the enabling of cpuset v2 controller.
Patch 11 adds a new test case to test_cpuset to test disabling of cpuset
controller.
