Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] cpusets,
suspend: Save and restore cpusets during suspend/resume
In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.
However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend. And this calls for special
handling of cpusets when CPU hotplug is carried out in the suspend/resume
path.
That special handling for suspend/resume is implemented as follows:
1. Explicitly save all the cpusets' cpus_allowed mask during suspend and
restore them during resume. Use a new per-cpuset mask to facilitate this.
2. During CPU hotplug, modify the cpusets' cpus_allowed mask as necessary to
keep them non-empty.
3. Do not move the tasks from one cpuset to another during hotplug.
It is to be noted that all the userspace would have been already frozen
before doing CPU hotplug in the suspend/resume path, and hence, in reality,
nobody (userspace tasks) will actually observe any of this special case
handling (which is good news for the kernel, because this deviates from
true hotplug semantics slightly, so as to resume the system properly).
(Also, while implementing this special case handling for suspend/resume, we
don't modify the existing cpuset handling for regular CPU hotplug, since it
is correct as it is anyway.)
