[PATCH 3.19 054/123] cpuset: initialize effective masks when clone_children is enabled

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 24 2015 - 13:33:09 EST


3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zefan Li <lizefan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 790317e1b266c776765a4bdcedefea706ff0fada upstream.

If clone_children is enabled, effective masks won't be initialized
due to the bug:

# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset xxx /mnt
# echo 1 > cgroup.clone_children
# mkdir /mnt/tmp
# cat /mnt/tmp/
# cat cpuset.effective_cpus

# cat cpuset.cpus
0-15

And then this cpuset won't constrain the tasks in it.

Either the bug or the fix has no effect on unified hierarchy, as
there's no clone_chidren flag there any more.
