[PATCH 16/17] cgroup/cpuset: Fix isolated accounting on propagated invalidation

From: Guopeng Zhang

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 08:44:51 EST


From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@xxxxxxxxxx>

update_cpumasks_hier() invalidates a local partition when its parent
becomes a member or an invalid partition. Its CPUs return to the nearest
valid partition ancestor, but isolated_cpus still reflects the old
partition type.

Update isolated_cpus before resetting a local partition whose state
changes from valid to invalid below an invalid parent. Remote partitions
are excluded because remote_partition_disable() already updates their
isolated CPU accounting.

Fixes: 11e5f407b64a ("cgroup/cpuset: Keep track of CPUs in isolated partitions")
