It can be reproduced with cammands: cd /sys/fs/cgroup/ mkdir test cd test/ echo +cpuset > ../cgroup.subtree_control echo root > cpuset.cpus.partition cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective 0-3 echo 0-3 > cpuset.cpus // taking away all cpus from root
This issue is caused by the incorrect rebuilding of scheduling domains. In this scenario, test/cpuset.cpus.partition should be an invalid root and should not trigger the rebuilding of scheduling domains. When calling update_parent_effective_cpumask with partcmd_update, if newmask is not null, it should recheck newmask whether there are cpus is available for parect/cs that has tasks.
