[PATCH 04/17] cgroup/cpuset: Limit type-change accounting to owned CPUs

From: Guopeng Zhang

Date: Thu Aug 20 2026 - 08:46:30 EST


From: Guopeng Zhang <zhangguopeng@xxxxxxxxxx>

effective_xcpus includes CPUs granted to valid child partitions. Passing
the whole mask to isolated_cpus_update() during a root-to-isolated or
isolated-to-root change applies the parent's new state to child-owned
CPUs as well.

Build a mask of CPUs owned by the partition by subtracting the
effective_xcpus of valid children. Use this mask when updating
isolated_cpus for a partition type change.

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