v3:
 - Add two new patches (patches 2 & 3) to fix bugs found during the
   testing process.
 - Add a new patch to enable inotify event notification when partition
   become invalid.
 - Add a test to test event notification when partition become invalid.

v2:
 - Drop v1 patch 1.
 - Break out some cosmetic changes into a separate patch (patch #1).
 - Add a new patch to clarify the transition to invalid partition root
   is mainly caused by hotplug events.
 - Enhance the partition root state test including CPU online/offline
   behavior and fix issues found by the test.

This patchset fixes two bugs and makes four enhancements to the cpuset
v2 code.

Bug fixes:

 Patch 2: Fix a hotplug handling bug when just all cpus in subparts_cpus
 are offlined.

 Patch 3: Fix violation of cpuset locking rule.

Enhancements: 

 Patch 4: Enable event notification on "cpuset.cpus.partition" when
 a partition become invalid.

 Patch 5: Clarify the use of invalid partition root and add new checks
 to make sure that normal cpuset control file operations will not be
 allowed to create invalid partition root. It also fixes some of the
 issues in existing code.

 Patch 6: Add a new partition state "isolated" to create a partition
 root without load balancing. This is for handling intermitten workloads
 that have a strict low latency requirement.

 Patch 7: Allow partition roots that are not the top cpuset to distribute
 all its cpus to child partitions as long as there is no task associated
 with that partition root. This allows more flexibility for middleware
 to manage multiple partitions.

Patch 8 updates the cgroup-v2.rst file accordingly. Patch 9 adds a new
cpuset test to test the new cpuset partition code.

Use more descriptive variable names for update_prstate(), remove
unnecessary code and fix some typos. There is no functional change.

In cpuset_hotplug_workfn(), the detection of whether the cpu list
has been changed is done by comparing the effective cpus of the top
cpuset with the cpu_active_mask. However, in the rare case that just
all the CPUs in the subparts_cpus are offlined, the detection fails
and the partition states are not updated correctly. Fix it by forcing
the cpus_updated flag to true in this particular case.

The cpuset fields that manage partition root state do not strictly
follow the cpuset locking rule that update to cpuset has to be done
with both the callback_lock and cpuset_mutex held. This is now fixed
by making sure that the locking rule is upheld.

A valid cpuset partition can become invalid if all its CPUs are offlined
or somehow removed. This can happen through external events without
"cpuset.cpus.partition" being touched at all.

Users that rely on the property of a partition being present do not
currently have a simple way to get such an event notified other than
constant periodic polling which is both inefficient and cumbersome.

To make life easier for those users, event notification is now enabled
for "cpuset.cpus.partition" when it goes into or out of an invalid
partition state.

For cpuset partition, the special state of PRS_ERROR (invalid partition
root) was originally designed to handle hotplug events.  In this state,
CPUs allocated to the partition root is released back to the parent
but the cpuset exclusive flags remain unchanged.

Since partition root sets the CPU_EXCLUSIVE flag, cpuset.cpus changes
that break the cpu exclusivity rule will not be allowed. However,
other changes to cpuset.cpus on a partition root may still cause it to
become invalid. This is undesriable as we don't want accidental change
to cpuset.cpus to invalidate a partition root.

Additional checks are now added to make sure that regular cpuset control
file manipulations are not allowed to make a partition root invalid. These
additional checks are:

 1) A partition root can't be changed to member if it has child partition
    roots.
 2) Removing CPUs from cpuset.cpus that causes it to become invalid is
    not allowed.

Comments are also added to clarify that a partition root becomes
invalid only when an external event like hotplug that causes all the
CPUs allocated to a partition root to become unavailable.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=TBD

commit 994fb794cb252edd124a46ca0994e37a4726a100
Author: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>
Date:   Sat, 19 Jun 2021 13:28:19 -0400

    cgroup/cpuset: Add a new isolated cpus.partition type

    Cpuset v1 uses the sched_load_balance control file to determine if load
    balancing should be enabled.  Cpuset v2 gets rid of sched_load_balance
    as its use may require disabling load balancing at cgroup root.

    For workloads that require very low latency like DPDK, the latency
    jitters caused by periodic load balancing may exceed the desired
    latency limit.

    When cpuset v2 is in use, the only way to avoid this latency cost is to
    use the "isolcpus=" kernel boot option to isolate a set of CPUs. After
    the kernel boot, however, there is no way to add or remove CPUs from
    this isolated set. For workloads that are more dynamic in nature, that
    means users have to provision enough CPUs for the worst case situation
    resulting in excess idle CPUs.

    To address this issue for cpuset v2, a new cpuset.cpus.partition type
    "isolated" is added which allows the creation of a cpuset partition
    without load balancing. This will allow system administrators to
    dynamically adjust the size of isolated partition to the current need
    of the workload without rebooting the system.

Currently, a parent partition root cannot distribute all its CPUs to
child partition roots with no CPUs left. However in some use cases,
a management application may want to create a parent partition root as
a management unit with no task associated with it and has all its CPUs
distributed to various child partition roots dynamically according to
their needs. Leaving a cpu in the parent partition root in such a case is
now a waste.

To accommodate such use cases, a parent partition root can now have
all its CPUs distributed to its child partition roots as long as:
 1) it is not the top cpuset; and
 2) there is no task directly associated with the parent.

Once an empty parent partition root is formed, no new task can be moved
into it.

I'd generate an event on any state changes. The user have to read the file
to find out what happened anyway.

I applied parts of the series. I think there was a bit of miscommunication.
I meant that we should use the invalid state as the only way to indicate
errors as long as the error state is something which can be reached through
hot unplug or other uncontrollable changes, and require users to monitor the
state transitions for confirmation and error handling.

Thanks.

Nice! And while we are adding a new ABI, can we take advantage of that and
add a specific semantic that if a new isolated partition matches a subset of
"isolcpus=", it automatically maps to it. This means that any further
modification to that isolated partition will also modify the associated
isolcpus= subset.

Or to summarize, when we create a new isolated partition, remove the associated
CPUs from isolcpus= ?

Thanks.

We can certainly do that as a follow-on. Another idea that I have been 
thinking about is to automatically generating a isolated partition under 
root to match the given isolcpus parameter when the v2 filesystem is 
mounted. That needs more experimentation and testing to verify that it 
can work.

Cheers,

 From my own testing with "inotify_add_watch(fd, file, IN_MODIFY)", 
poll() will return with a event whenever a user write to 
cpuset.cpus.partition control file. I haven't really look into the sysfs 
code yet, but I believe event generation will be automatic in this case. 
So I don't think I need to explicitly add a cgroup_file_notify() when 
users modify the control file directly. Other indirect modification may 
cause the partition value to change to/from PRS_ERROR and I should have 
captured all those changes in this patchset. I will update the patch to 
note this point to make it more clear.

After thinking about it a bit more it, it is probably not a problem to 
call cgroup_file_notify() for every change as this is not in a 
performance critical path anyway. I will do some more testing to find 
out if doing cgroup_file_notify() for regular file write will cause an 
extra duplicated event to be sent out, I will probably stay with the 
current patch. Otherwise, I can change it to always call 
cgroup_file_notify().

Yes, that is the point of adding the event notification patch.

In the current code, direct write to cpuset.cpus.partition are strictly 
controlled and invalid transitions are rejected. However, changes to 
cpuset.cpus that do not break the cpu exclusivity rule or cpu hot plug 
may cause a partition to changed to invalid. What is currently done in 
this patchset is to add extra guards to reject those cpuset.cpus change 
that cause the partition to become invalid since changes that break cpu 
exclusivity rule will be rejected anyway. I can leave out those extra 
guards and allow those invalid cpuset.cpus change to go forward and 
change the partition to invalid instead if this is what you want.

However, if we have a complicated partition setup with multiple child 
partitions. Invalid cpuset.cpus change in a parent partition will cause 
all the child partitions to become invalid too. That is the scenario 
that I don't want to happen inadvertently. Alternatively, we can 
restrict those invalid changes if a child partition exist and let it 
pass through and make it invalid if it is a standalone partition.

Please let me know which approach do you want me to take.

Cheers,
Longman

...this seems to erase information about CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE zeroness.

IOW, if there's an isolated partition that becomes invalid and later
valid again (a cpu is (re)added), it will be a normal root partition
without the requested isolation, which is IMO undesired.

I may have overlooked something in broader context but it seems to me
the invalidity should be saved independently of the root/isolated type.

PRS_ERROR cannot be passed to update_prstate(). For this patchset, 
PRS_ERROR can only be set by changes in hotplug. The current design will 
maintain the set flag (CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE) and use it to decide to 
switch back to PRS_ENABLED or PRS_ISOLATED when the cpus are available 
again.

Longman

I see it now, thanks. (I still find a bit weird that the "isolated"
partition will be shown as "root invalid" when it's lacking cpus
(instead of "isolated invalid" and returning to "isolated") but I can
understand the approach of having just one "root invalid" for all.)

I'm just concerned that this feature gets merged before we add that new
isolcpus= implicit mapping, which technically is a new ABI. Well I guess I
should hurry up and try to propose a patchset quickly once I'm back from
vacation :-)

I thought about that too, mounting an "isolcpus" subdirectory withing the top
cpuset but I was worried it could break userspace that wouldn't expect that new
thing to show up.

Thanks.

I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with it given the
requirement that userland has to monitor invalid state transitions.
The same mass transition can happen through cpu hotplug operations,
right?

I think it'd be best if we can stick to some principles rather than
trying to adjust it for specific scenarios. e.g.:

* If a given state can be reached through cpu hot [un]plug, any
  configuration attempt which reaches the same state should be allowed
  with the same end result as cpu hot [un]plug.

* If a given state can't ever be reached in whichever way, the
  configuration attempting to reach such state should be rejected.

Thanks.
