[ Upstream commit a1fd0b9d751f840df23ef0e75b691fc00cfd4743 ]

Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.

This matches the behavior described in the documentation:

  -1   no request. use system default or follow request of others.
   0   no search.
   1   search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).

"2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Fix retval in update_cpumask()</title>

<content type='text'>
The update_cpumask(), checks for newly requested cpumask by calling
validate_change(), which returns an error on passing an invalid set
of cpu(s). Independent of the error returned, update_cpumask() always
returns zero, suppressing the error and returning success to the user
on writing an invalid cpu range for a cpuset. Fix it by returning
retval instead, which is returned by validate_change().

Fix a possible memory leak in update_exclusive_cpumask() by moving the
alloc_cpumasks() down after the validate_change() check which can fail
and still before the temporary cpumasks are needed.

  Nothing major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups
  and some tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will
  come back in a safer way next release cycle.

  Included in here are:

   - more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes

   - fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior

   - kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions

   - cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
     systems that add topologies and cpus after booting

   - other minor changes and cleanups

  All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
  maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been

One of the last remaining users of strlcpy() in the kernel is
kernfs_path_from_node_locked(), which passes back the problematic "length
we _would_ have copied" return value to indicate truncation.  Convert the
chain of all callers to use the negative return value (some of which
already doing this explicitly). All callers were already also checking
for negative return values, so the risk to missed checks looks very low.

In this analysis, it was found that cgroup1_release_agent() actually
didn't handle the "too large" condition, so this is technically also a
bug fix. :)

Here's the chain of callers, and resolution identifying each one as now
handling the correct return value:

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Include isolated cpuset CPUs in cpu_is_isolated() check</title>

Currently, the cpu_is_isolated() function checks only the statically
isolated CPUs specified via the "isolcpus" and "nohz_full" kernel
command line options. This function is used by vmstat and memcg to
reduce interference with isolated CPUs by not doing stat flushing
or scheduling works on those CPUs.

Workloads running on isolated CPUs within isolated cpuset
partitions should receive the same treatment to reduce unnecessary
interference. This patch introduces a new cpuset_cpu_is_isolated()
function to be called by cpu_is_isolated() so that the set of dynamically
created cpuset isolated CPUs will be included in the check.

Assuming that testing a bit in a cpumask is atomic, no synchronization
primitive is currently used to synchronize access to the cpuset's
isolated_cpus mask.

The root-only cpuset.cpus.isolated control file shows the current set
of isolated CPUs in isolated partitions. This control file is currently
exposed only with the cgroup_debug boot command line option which also
adds the ".__DEBUG__." prefix. This is actually a useful control file if
users want to find out which CPUs are currently in an isolated state by
the cpuset controller. Remove CFTYPE_DEBUG flag for this control file and
make it available by default without any prefix.

The test_cpuset_prs.sh test script and the cgroup-v2.rst documentation
file are also updated accordingly. Minor code change is also made in
test_cpuset_prs.sh to avoid false test failure when running on debug
kernel.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Take isolated CPUs out of workqueue unbound cpumask</title>

<id>72c6303acfa1008c542e093bc9f9916fb99e0323</id>
<content type='text'>
To make CPUs in isolated cpuset partition closer in isolation to
the boot time isolated CPUs specified in the "isolcpus" boot command
line option, we need to take those CPUs out of the workqueue unbound
cpumask so that work functions from the unbound workqueues won't run
on those CPUs.  Otherwise, they will interfere the user tasks running
on those isolated CPUs.

With the introduction of the workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask() helper
function in an earlier commit, those isolated CPUs can now be taken
out from the workqueue unbound cpumask.

This patch also updates cgroup-v2.rst to mention that isolated
CPUs will be excluded from unbound workqueue cpumask as well as
updating test_cpuset_prs.sh to verify the correctness of the new
*cpuset.cpus.isolated file, if available via cgroup_debug option.

Add a new internal isolated_cpus mask to keep track of the CPUs that are in
isolated partitions. Expose that new cpumask as a new root-only control file
".cpuset.cpus.isolated".

tj: Updated patch description to reflect dropping __DEBUG__ prefix.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Cleanup signedness issue in cpu_exclusive_check()</title>

Smatch complains about returning negative error codes from a type
bool function.

kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c:705 cpu_exclusive_check() warn:
	signedness bug returning '(-22)'

The code works correctly, but it is confusing.  The current behavior is
that cpu_exclusive_check() returns true if it's *NOT* exclusive.  Rename
it to cpusets_are_exclusive() and reverse the returns so it returns true
if it is exclusive and false if it's not.  Update both callers as well.
