The commit 851a723e45d1c("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in do_set_cpus_allowed()")
would cause that online/offline cpu will produce different results
for the !top-cpuset task.
For example:
If the task was running, then offline task's cpus, would lead to clear
its user-mask.
unisoc:/ # while true; do sleep 600; done&
[1] 6786
unisoc:/ # echo 6786 > /dev/cpuset/top-app/tasks
unisoc:/ # cat /dev/cpuset/top-app/cpus
0-7
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-7
unisoc:/ # taskset -p c0 6786
pid 6786's current affinity mask: ff
pid 6786's new affinity mask: c0
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
After offline the cpu6 and cpu7, the user-mask would be cleared:
unisoc:/ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 40
Cpus_allowed_list: 6
ums9621_1h10:/ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu6/online
ums9621_1h10:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 3f
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-5
When online the cpu6/7, the user-mask can not bring back:
unisoc:/ # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu6/online
unisoc:/ # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-6
However, if we offline the cpu when the task is sleeping, at this
time, because would not call the fallback_cpu(), its user-mask will
not be cleared.
unisoc:/ # while true; do sleep 600; done&
[1] 5990
unisoc:/ # echo 5990 > /dev/cpuset/top-app/tasks
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/5990/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-7
unisoc:/ # taskset -p c0 5990
pid 5990's current affinity mask: ff
pid 5990's new affinity mask: c0
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/5990/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
unisoc:/ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu6/online
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/5990/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 80
Cpus_allowed_list: 7
unisoc:/ # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/5990/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 3f
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-5
After 10 minutes, it was waked up, it can also keep its user-mask:
ums9621_1h10:/ # cat /proc/5990/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 3f
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-5
And when online the cpu6/7,the user-mask could bring back.
unisoc:/ # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu6/online
unisoc:/ # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
unisoc:/ # cat /proc/6786/status | grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
Indeed, there is no need to clear the user_cpus_ptr if there is an
intersection between user_cpus_ptr and new_mask.
So add the judgement of whether there is an intersection between them.
Clear user_cpus_ptr only when no intersection with the new mask.
In this way, the above problems can also be solved.

Hi Xuewen,
I have a query here:
1. From the example where task is running, " while true; do sleep 600; done& "
is being used, which is a sleeping task. How running task is emulated here?
2. Tried without patch (6.9.0-rc4) on a 64 CPUs system. Results are:
For a task that is running:
# stress-ng -l 100 --cpu 1
stress-ng: info: [2307] defaulting to a 86400 second (1 day, 0.00 secs) run per stressor
stress-ng: info: [2307] dispatching hogs: 1 cpu
#taskset -p c0 2308
pid 2308's current affinity mask: ffffffffffffffff
pid 2308's new affinity mask: c0
# cat /proc/2308/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 00000000,000000c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
#chcpu -d 6,7
CPU 6 disabled
CPU 7 disabled
After disabling CPUs 6 and 7:
# cat /proc/2308/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
After enabling CPUs 6 and 7:
## chcpu -e 6,7
CPU 6 enabled
CPU 7 enabled
# cat /proc/2308/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
From the above output, after disabling CPUs 6 and 7, all the CPUs in the
system are displayed rather than showing only remaining online CPUs(as
shown in above example).
For a task that is sleeping:
# while true; do sleep 60; done&
[1] 2541
# taskset -p c0 2541
pid 2541's current affinity mask: ffffffffffffffff
pid 2541's new affinity mask: c0
# cat /proc/2541/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 00000000,000000c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
After disabling CPUs 6 and 7:
# chcpu -d 6,7
CPU 6 disabled
CPU 7 disabled
# cat /proc/2541/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: 00000000,000000c0
Cpus_allowed_list: 6-7
After 1 minute:
# cat /proc/2541/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
# chcpu -e 6,7
CPU 6 enabled
CPU 7 enabled
# cat /proc/2541/status |grep Cpus
Cpus_allowed: ffffffff,ffffffff
Cpus_allowed_list: 0-63
From the above output, after disabling CPUs 6 and 7, it waked up after
1 minute and Cpus_allowed_list got changed to 0-63 (which is contrary
to the above example).
So, there is some deviation in behaviour seen without the patch,
than reported or am I missing something?
Thanks and regards,
Saket Kumar Bhaskar

Whether the thread you are testing belongs to top-cpuset? If so, I

And you can see the patch: 3fb906e7fabbb (group/cpuset: Don't filter
offline CPUs in cpuset_cpus_allowed() for top cpuset tasks).
