We got report that setting cpuset.mems failed when the nodemask contains a newly onlined memory node (not enumerated during boot) for cgroup v2, while the binding succeeded for cgroup v1. The root cause is, for cgroup v2, when a new memory node is onlined, top_cpuset's 'mem_allowed' is not updated with the new nodemask of memory nodes, and the following setting memory nodemask will fail, if the nodemask contains a new node. Fix it by updating top_cpuset.mems_allowed right after the new memory node is onlined, just like v1. Signed-off-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@xxxxxxxxx> --- Very likely I missed some details here, but it looks strange that the top_cpuset.mem_allowed is not updatd even after we onlined several memory nodes after boot. kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c b/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c index 9390bfd9f1cd..b97caaf16374 100644 --- a/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c +++ b/kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c @@ -3314,8 +3314,7 @@ static void cpuset_hotplug_workfn(struct work_struct *work) /* synchronize mems_allowed to N_MEMORY */ if (mems_updated) { spin_lock_irq(&callback_lock); - if (!on_dfl) - top_cpuset.mems_allowed = new_mems; + top_cpuset.mems_allowed = new_mems; top_cpuset.effective_mems = new_mems; spin_unlock_irq(&callback_lock); update_tasks_nodemask(&top_cpuset); -- 2.27.0
