2026-02-12mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotionBing Jiao
Patch series "mm/vmscan: fix demotion targets checks in reclaim/demotion", v9. This patch series addresses two issues in demote_folio_list(), can_demote(), and next_demotion_node() in reclaim/demotion. 1. demote_folio_list() and can_demote() do not correctly check demotion target against cpuset.mems_effective, which will cause (a) pages to be demoted to not-allowed nodes and (b) pages fail demotion even if the system still has allowed demotion nodes. Patch 1 fixes this bug by updating cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. 2. next_demotion_node() returns a preferred demotion target, but it does not check the node against allowed nodes. Patch 2 ensures that next_demotion_node() filters against the allowed node mask and selects the closest demotion target to the source node. This patch (of 2): Fix two bugs in demote_folio_list() and can_demote() due to incorrect demotion target checks against cpuset.mems_effective in reclaim/demotion. Commit 7d709f49babc ("vmscan,cgroup: apply mems_effective to reclaim") introduces the cpuset.mems_effective check and applies it to can_demote(). However: 1. It does not apply this check in demote_folio_list(), which leads to situations where pages are demoted to nodes that are explicitly excluded from the task's cpuset.mems. 2. It checks only the nodes in the immediate next demotion hierarchy and does not check all allowed demotion targets in can_demote(). This can cause pages to never be demoted if the nodes in the next demotion hierarchy are not set in mems_effective. These bugs break resource isolation provided by cpuset.mems. This is visible from userspace because pages can either fail to be demoted entirely or are demoted to nodes that are not allowed in multi-tier memory systems. To address these bugs, update cpuset_node_allowed() and mem_cgroup_node_allowed() to return effective_mems, allowing directly logic-and operation against demotion targets. Also update can_demote() and demote_folio_list() accordingly. Bug 1 reproduction: Assume a system with 4 nodes, where nodes 0-1 are top-tier and nodes 2-3 are far-tier memory.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

2026-02-03kthread: Honour kthreads preferred affinity after cpuset changesFrederic Weisbecker
When cpuset isolated partitions get updated, unbound kthreads get indifferently affine to all non isolated CPUs, regardless of their individual affinity preferences. For example kswapd is a per-node kthread that prefers to be affine to the node it refers to. Whenever an isolated partition is created, updated or deleted, kswapd's node affinity is going to be broken if any CPU in the related node is not isolated because kswapd will be affine globally. Fix this with letting the consolidated kthread managed affinity code do the affinity update on behalf of cpuset.

2026-02-03cpuset: Update HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask from cpusetFrederic Weisbecker
Until now, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN used to only include boot defined isolated CPUs passed through isolcpus= boot option. Users interested in also knowing the runtime defined isolated CPUs through cpuset must use different APIs: cpuset_cpu_is_isolated(), cpu_is_isolated(), etc... There are many drawbacks to that approach: 1) Most interested subsystems want to know about all isolated CPUs, not just those defined on boot time. 2) cpuset_cpu_is_isolated() / cpu_is_isolated() are not synchronized with concurrent cpuset changes. 3) Further cpuset modifications are not propagated to subsystems Solve 1) and 2) and centralize all isolated CPUs within the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask. Subsystems can rely on RCU to synchronize against concurrent changes. The propagation mentioned in 3) will be handled in further patches.

When A1 was removed, CPU 3 was returned to the root pool. However, B1 incorrectly regained access to CPU 3 when update_cpumasks_hier was triggered during C1's removal, which also updated sibling configurations. The update_sibling_cpumasks function was called to synchronize siblings' effective CPUs due to changes in their parent's effective CPUs.

2026-01-12cgroup/cpuset: Move the v1 empty cpus/mems check to cpuset1_validate_change()Waiman Long
As stated in commit 1c09b195d37f ("cpuset: fix a regression in validating config change"), it is not allowed to clear masks of a cpuset if there're tasks in it. This is specific to v1 since empty "cpuset.cpus" or "cpuset.mems" will cause the v2 cpuset to inherit the effective CPUs or memory nodes from its parent. So it is OK to have empty cpus or mems even if there are tasks in the cpuset. Move this empty cpus/mems check in validate_change() to cpuset1_validate_change() to allow more flexibility in setting cpus or mems in v2. cpuset_is_populated() needs to be moved into cpuset-internal.h as it is needed by the empty cpus/mems checking code. Also add a test case to test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify that.

2026-01-12cgroup/cpuset: Don't invalidate sibling partitions on cpuset.cpus conflictWaiman Long
Currently, when setting a cpuset's cpuset.cpus to a value that conflicts with the cpuset.cpus/cpuset.cpus.exclusive of a sibling partition, the sibling's partition state becomes invalid. This is overly harsh and is probably not necessary. The cpuset.cpus.exclusive control file, if set, will override the cpuset.cpus of the same cpuset when creating a cpuset partition. So cpuset.cpus has less priority than cpuset.cpus.exclusive in setting up a partition. However, it cannot override a conflicting cpuset.cpus file in a sibling cpuset and the partition creation process will fail. This is inconsistent. That will also make using cpuset.cpus.exclusive less valuable as a tool to set up cpuset partitions as the users have to check if such a cpuset.cpus conflict exists or not. Fix these problems by making sure that once a cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set without failure, it will always be allowed to form a valid partition as long as at least one CPU can be granted from its parent irrespective of the state of the siblings' cpuset.cpus values. Of course, setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive will fail if it conflicts with the cpuset.cpus.exclusive or the cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective value of a sibling. Partition can still be created by setting only cpuset.cpus without setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive. However, any conflicting CPUs in sibling's cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective and cpuset.cpus.exclusive values will be removed from its cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective as long as there is still one or more CPUs left and can be granted from its parent. This CPU stripping is currently done in rm_siblings_excl_cpus(). The new code will now try its best to enable the creation of new partitions with only cpuset.cpus set without invalidating existing ones. However it is not guaranteed that all the CPUs requested in cpuset.cpus will be used in the new partition even when all these CPUs can be granted from the parent. This is similar to the fact that cpuset.cpus.effective may not be able to include all the CPUs requested in cpuset.cpus. In this case, the parent may not able to grant all the exclusive CPUs requested in cpuset.cpus to cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective if some of them have already been granted to other partitions earlier. With the creation of multiple sibling partitions by setting only cpuset.cpus, this does have the side effect that their exact cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective settings will depend on the order of partition creation if there are conflicts. Due to the exclusive nature of the CPUs in a partition, it is not easy to make it fair other than the old behavior of invalidating all the conflicting partitions. For example, # echo "0-2" > A1/cpuset.cpus # echo "root" > A1/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat A1/cpuset.cpus.partition root # cat A1/cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective 0-2 # echo "2-4" > B1/cpuset.cpus # echo "root" > B1/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat B1/cpuset.cpus.partition root # cat B1/cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective 3-4 # cat B1/cpuset.cpus.effective 3-4 For users who want to be sure that they can get most of the CPUs they want, cpuset.cpus.exclusive should be used instead if they can set it successfully without failure. Setting cpuset.cpus.exclusive will guarantee that sibling conflicts from then onward is no longer possible. To make this change, we have to separate out the is_cpu_exclusive() check in cpus_excl_conflict() into a cgroup v1 only cpuset1_cpus_excl_conflict() helper. The cpus_allowed_validate_change() helper is now no longer needed and can be removed. Some existing tests in test_cpuset_prs.sh are updated and new ones are added to reflect the new behavior. The cgroup-v2.rst doc file is also updated the clarify what exclusive CPUs will be used when a partition is created.

Commit fe8cd2736e75 ("cgroup/cpuset: Delay setting of CS_CPU_EXCLUSIVE until valid partition") introduced a new check to disallow the setting of a new cpuset.cpus.exclusive value that is a superset of a sibling's cpuset.cpus value so that there will at least be one CPU left in the sibling in case the cpuset becomes a valid partition root. This new check does have the side effect of failing a cpuset.cpus change that make it a subset of a sibling's cpuset.cpus.exclusive value. With v2, users are supposed to be allowed to set whatever value they want in cpuset.cpus without failure. To maintain this rule, the check is now restricted to only when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is being changed not when cpuset.cpus is changed.

Since commit f62a5d39368e ("cgroup/cpuset: Remove remote_partition_check() & make update_cpumasks_hier() handle remote partition"), the compute_effective_exclusive_cpumask() helper was extended to strip exclusive CPUs from siblings when computing effective_xcpus (cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective). This helper was later renamed to compute_excpus() in commit 86bbbd1f33ab ("cpuset: Refactor exclusive CPU mask computation logic"). This helper is supposed to be used consistently to compute effective_xcpus. However, there is an exception within the callback critical section in update_cpumasks_hier() when exclusive_cpus of a valid partition root is empty. This can cause effective_xcpus value to differ depending on where exactly it is last computed. Fix this by using compute_excpus() in this case to give a consistent result.

2025-12-18cpuset: separate generate_sched_domains for v1 and v2Chen Ridong
The generate_sched_domains() function currently handles both v1 and v2 logic. However, the underlying mechanisms for building scheduler domains differ significantly between the two versions. For cpuset v2, scheduler domains are straightforwardly derived from valid partitions, whereas cpuset v1 employs a more complex union-find algorithm to merge overlapping cpusets. Co-locating these implementations complicates maintenance. This patch, along with subsequent ones, aims to separate the v1 and v2 logic. For ease of review, this patch first copies the generate_sched_domains() function into cpuset-v1.c as cpuset1_generate_sched_domains() and removes v2-specific code. Common helpers and top_cpuset are declared in cpuset-internal.h. When operating in v1 mode, the code now calls cpuset1_generate_sched_domains(). Currently there is some code duplication, which will be largely eliminated once v1-specific code is removed from v2 in the following patch.

2025-11-20timers/migration: Exclude isolated cpus from hierarchyGabriele Monaco
The timer migration mechanism allows active CPUs to pull timers from idle ones to improve the overall idle time. This is however undesired when CPU intensive workloads run on isolated cores, as the algorithm would move the timers from housekeeping to isolated cores, negatively affecting the isolation. Exclude isolated cores from the timer migration algorithm, extend the concept of unavailable cores, currently used for offline ones, to isolated ones: * A core is unavailable if isolated or offline; * A core is available if non isolated and online; A core is considered unavailable as isolated if it belongs to: * the isolcpus (domain) list * an isolated cpuset Except if it is: * in the nohz_full list (already idle for the hierarchy) * the nohz timekeeper core (must be available to handle global timers) CPUs are added to the hierarchy during late boot, excluding isolated ones, the hierarchy is also adapted when the cpuset isolation changes. Due to how the timer migration algorithm works, any CPU part of the hierarchy can have their global timers pulled by remote CPUs and have to pull remote timers, only skipping pulling remote timers would break the logic. For this reason, prevent isolated CPUs from pulling remote global timers, but also the other way around: any global timer started on an isolated CPU will run there. This does not break the concept of isolation (global timers don't come from outside the CPU) and, if considered inappropriate, can usually be mitigated with other isolation techniques (e.g. IRQ pinning). This effect was noticed on a 128 cores machine running oslat on the isolated cores (1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127). The tool monopolises CPUs, and the CPU with lowest count in a timer migration hierarchy (here 1 and 65) appears as always active and continuously pulls global timers, from the housekeeping CPUs. This ends up moving driver work (e.g. delayed work) to isolated CPUs and causes latency spikes: before the change: # oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s ... Maximum: 1203 10 3 4 ... 5 (us) after the change: # oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s ... Maximum: 10 4 3 4 3 ... 5 (us) The same behaviour was observed on a machine with as few as 20 cores / 40 threads with isocpus set to: 1-9,11-39 with rtla-osnoise-top.

2025-11-11cpuset: remove need_rebuild_sched_domainsChen Ridong
Previously, update_cpumasks_hier() used need_rebuild_sched_domains to decide whether to invoke rebuild_sched_domains_locked(). Now that rebuild_sched_domains_locked() only sets force_rebuild, the flag is redundant. Hence, remove it.

2025-11-11cpuset: remove global remote_children listChen Ridong
The remote_children list is used to track all remote partitions attached to a cpuset. However, it serves no other purpose. Using a boolean flag to indicate whether a cpuset is a remote partition is a more direct approach, making remote_children unnecessary. This patch replaces the list with a remote_partition flag in the cpuset structure and removes remote_children entirely.

2025-11-05cgroup/cpuset: Globally track isolated_cpus updateWaiman Long
The current cpuset code passes a local isolcpus_updated flag around in a number of functions to determine if external isolation related cpumasks like wq_unbound_cpumask should be updated. It is a bit cumbersome and makes the code more complex. Simplify the code by using a global boolean flag "isolated_cpus_updating" to track this. This flag will be set in isolated_cpus_update() and cleared in update_isolation_cpumasks(). No functional change is expected.

2025-11-05cgroup/cpuset: Ensure domain isolated CPUs stay in root or isolated partitionWaiman Long
Commit 4a74e418881f ("cgroup/cpuset: Check partition conflict with housekeeping setup") is supposed to ensure that domain isolated CPUs designated by the "isolcpus" boot command line option stay either in root partition or in isolated partitions. However, the required check wasn't implemented when a remote partition was created or when an existing partition changed type from "root" to "isolated". Even though this is a relatively minor issue, we still need to add the required prstate_housekeeping_conflict() call in the right places to ensure that the rule is strictly followed. The following steps can be used to reproduce the problem before this fix. # fmt -1 /proc/cmdline | grep isolcpus isolcpus=9 # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ # echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control # mkdir test # echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus # echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition isolated # cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective 9 # echo root > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective 9 # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition root With this fix, the last few steps will become: # echo root > test/cpuset.cpus.partition # cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective 0-8,10-95 # cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition root invalid (partition config conflicts with housekeeping setup) Reported-by: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2025-11-05cgroup/cpuset: Fail if isolated and nohz_full don't leave any housekeepingWaiman Long
Currently the user can set up isolated cpus via cpuset and nohz_full in such a way that leaves no housekeeping CPU (i.e. no CPU that is neither domain isolated nor nohz full). This can be a problem for other subsystems (e.g. the timer wheel imgration). Prevent this configuration by blocking any assignation that would cause the union of domain isolated cpus and nohz_full to covers all CPUs.

2025-10-20cgroup/cpuset: Don't track # of local child partitionsWaiman Long
The cpuset structure has a nr_subparts field which tracks the number of child local partitions underneath a particular cpuset. Right now, nr_subparts is only used in partition_is_populated() to avoid iteration of child cpusets if the condition is right. So by always performing the child iteration, we can avoid tracking the number of child partitions and simplify the code a bit.

A previous patch fixed a bug where new_prs should be assigned before checking housekeeping conflicts. This patch addresses another potential issue: the nocpu error check currently uses the xcpus which is not updated. Although no issue has been observed so far, the check should be performed using the new effective exclusive cpus. The comment has been removed because the function returns an error if nocpu checking fails, which is unrelated to the parent.
