Commit e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for
v2") adds a user writable cpuset.cpus.exclusive file for setting
exclusive CPUs to be used for the creation of partitions. Since then
effective_xcpus depends on both the cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive
setting. If cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set, effective_xcpus will depend
only on cpuset.cpus.exclusive. When it is not set, effective_xcpus
will be set according to the cpuset.cpus value when the cpuset becomes
a valid partition root.
When cpuset.cpus is being cleared by the user, effective_xcpus should
only be cleared when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is not set. However, that
is not currently the case.
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
# mkdir test
# echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
# cd test
# echo 3 > cpuset.cpus.exclusive
# cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
3
# echo > cpuset.cpus
# cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared
Fix it by clearing effective_xcpus only if cpuset.cpus.exclusive is
not set.
