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. A big step toward making nohz_full=
also mutable through cpuset in the future.

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.

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.

The issue occurs because a pool can still be held by a caller after its
associated memory region is unregistered. The current implementation frees
the pool even if users still hold references to it (e.g., before uncharge

This patch adds a reference counter to each pool, ensuring that a pool is
only freed when its reference count drops to zero.

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. However,
parent effective CPU changes should not affect partition-effective CPUs.
To fix this issue, update_cpumasks_hier should only be invoked when the
sibling is not a valid partition in the update_sibling_cpumasks.

The current cgroup subsystem limit of 16 is insufficient, as the number of
existing subsystems has already reached this limit. When adding a new
subsystem that is not yet in the mainline kernel, building with
`make allmodconfig` requires first bypassing the
`BUILD_BUG_ON(CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT > 16)` restriction to allow compilation
to succeed. However, the kernel still fails to boot afterward.
This patch increases the maximum number of supported cgroup subsystems from

As stated in commit 1c09b195d3 ("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.

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 fe8cd2736e ("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 f62a5d3936 ("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 86bbbd1f33 ("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.

The cgrp_ancestor_storage has two drawbacks:
- it's not guaranteed that the member immediately follows struct cgrp in
cgroup_root (root cgroup's ancestors[0] might thus point to a padding
and not in cgrp_ancestor_storage proper),
- this idiom raises warnings with -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.
Instead of relying on the auxiliary member in cgroup_root, define the
0-th level ancestor inside struct cgroup (needed for static allocation
of cgrp_dfl_root), deeper cgroups would allocate flexible
_low_ancestors[]. Unionized alias through ancestors[] will
transparently join the two ranges.
The above change would still leave the flexible array at the end of
struct cgroup inside cgroup_root, so move cgrp also towards the end of
cgroup_root to resolve the -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end.

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.

When CPU 15 is offlined, subpartitions_cpus gets cleared because no CPUs
remain available for the top_cpuset, forcing partitions to share CPUs with
the top_cpuset. In this scenario, disabling the remote partition triggers
a warning stating that effective_xcpus is not a subset of
subpartitions_cpus. Partitions should be invalidated in this case to
inform users that the partition is now invalid(cpus are shared with
top_cpuset).
To fix this issue:
1. Only emit the warning only if subpartitions_cpus is not empty and the
effective_xcpus is not a subset of subpartitions_cpus.
2. During the CPU hotplug process, invalidate partitions if
subpartitions_cpus is empty.

After commit 2125c0034c ("cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset hotplug processing

Instead of extending the check to support remote partitions, this patch

On x86-64, this_cpu_cmpxchg() uses CMPXCHG without LOCK prefix which
means it is only safe for the local CPU and not for multiple CPUs.
Recently the commit 36df6e3dbd ("cgroup: make css_rstat_updated nmi
safe") make css_rstat_updated lockless and uses lockless list to allow
reentrancy. Since css_rstat_updated can invoked from process context,
IRQ and NMI, it uses this_cpu_cmpxchg() to select the winner which will
inset the lockless lnode into the global per-cpu lockless list.
However the commit missed one case where lockless node of a cgroup can
be accessed and modified by another CPU doing the flushing. Basically
llist_del_first_init() in css_process_update_tree().
On a cursory look, it can be questioned how css_process_update_tree()
can see a lockless node in global lockless list where the updater is at
this_cpu_cmpxchg() and before llist_add() call in css_rstat_updated().
This can indeed happen in the presence of IRQs/NMI.
Consider this scenario: Updater for cgroup stat C on CPU A in process
context is after llist_on_list() check and before this_cpu_cmpxchg() in
css_rstat_updated() where it get interrupted by IRQ/NMI. In the IRQ/NMI
context, a new updater calls css_rstat_updated() for same cgroup C and
successfully inserts rstatc_pcpu->lnode.
Now concurrently CPU B is running the flusher and it calls
llist_del_first_init() for CPU A and got rstatc_pcpu->lnode of cgroup C
which was added by the IRQ/NMI updater.
Now imagine CPU B calling init_llist_node() on cgroup C's
rstatc_pcpu->lnode of CPU A and on CPU A, the process context updater
calling this_cpu_cmpxchg(rstatc_pcpu->lnode) concurrently.
The CMPXCNG without LOCK on CPU A is not safe and thus we need LOCK
prefix.
In Meta's fleet running the kernel with the commit 36df6e3dbd, we are
observing on some machines the memcg stats are getting skewed by more
than the actual memory on the system. On close inspection, we noticed
that lockless node for a workload for specific CPU was in the bad state
and thus all the updates on that CPU for that cgroup was being lost.
To confirm if this skew was indeed due to this CMPXCHG without LOCK in
css_rstat_updated(), we created a repro (using AI) at [1] which shows
that CMPXCHG without LOCK creates almost the same lnode corruption as
seem in Meta's fleet and with LOCK CMPXCHG the issue does not
reproduces.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core
hibernation code.
Specifics:
- Introduce and document a QoS limit on CPU exit latency during
wakeup from suspend-to-idle (Ulf Hansson)

adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling
- coredump: move revert_cred() before coredump_cleanup()
- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const
- coredump: pass struct linux_binfmt as const
- sev-dev: use guard for path"

Currently, the check for whether a partition is populated does not
account for tasks in the cpuset of attaching. This is a corner case
that can leave a task stuck in a partition with no effective CPUs.
The race condition occurs as follows:
cpu0 cpu1
//cpuset A with cpu N
migrate task p to A
cpuset_can_attach
// with effective cpus
// check ok
// cpuset_mutex is not held // clear cpuset.cpus.exclusive
// making effective cpus empty
update_exclusive_cpumask
// tasks_nocpu_error check ok
// empty effective cpus, partition valid
cpuset_attach
...
// task p stays in A, with non-effective cpus.
To fix this issue, this patch introduces cs_is_populated, which considers
tasks in the attaching cpuset. This new helper is used in validate_change
and partition_is_populated.

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.

update_unbound_workqueue_cpumask() updates unbound workqueues settings
when there's a change in isolated CPUs, but it can be used for other
subsystems requiring updated when isolated CPUs change.
Generalise the name to update_isolation_cpumasks() to prepare for other
functions unrelated to workqueues to be called in that spot.

cpuset_cpus_allowed() uses a reader lock that is sleepable under RT,
which means it cannot be called inside raw_spin_lock_t context.
Introduce a new cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() helper that performs the
same function as cpuset_cpus_allowed() except that the caller must have
acquired the cpuset_mutex so that no further locking will be needed.

The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure. The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more. Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.
At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf. However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.

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.

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.
