[RFC PATCH -v4 02/22] cpuset: settle isolation state when CPUs are given back to parent
From: Ridong Chen
Date: Sun Nov 01 2026 - 06:43:35 EST
From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xxxxxxxxxx>
partition_xcpus_del() only updates isolated_cpus when the partition that
gives back the CPUs has a different state than its parent. CPUs that were
further distributed to descendant isolated partitions are not taken into
account, so isolated_cpus_release() has to be called afterwards in
several places to walk up the ancestors and fix isolated_cpus.
Make partition_xcpus_del() always set the isolation state of the given
back CPUs to the state of the parent that receives them. As the
effective_xcpus of a partition covers the CPUs distributed to its
descendants, the isolation state of those CPUs is settled at the same
time. Boot-time isolated CPUs are still preserved by isolated_cpu_update().
compute_partition_effective_cpumask() invalidates a child partition
without going through partition_xcpus_del(), so do the same there: the
CPUs of the invalidated child take the isolation state of its parent.
isolated_cpus_release() is no longer needed and is removed.
