Waiman, can you please take a look?
Thanks.

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.

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.

The on_dfl check was added by commit 7e88291beefb ("cpuset: make
cs->{cpus, mems}_allowed as user-configured masks"). This is the
expected behavior for cgroup v2 as we don't want to remove a node
because it is hot-removed. However, I do see a problem in case we are
adding a node that is not originally in top_cpuset.mems_allowed. We
should be allowed to add the extra memory node. So something like
if (!on_dfl)
top_cpuset.mems_allowed = new_mems;
else if (!nodes_subset(new_mems, top_cpuset.mems_allowed))
nodes_or(top_cpuset.mems_allowed,
top_cpuset.mems_allowed, new_mems);
For v2, top_cpuset.mems_allowed is set to node_possible_map in
cpuset_bind(). Perhaps node_possible_map may not include all the nodes
that are hot-pluggable.
I don't know if that is similar problem with cpu_possible_mask or not.
