From d56281fefb19e9b3c1cabec303386f5bd8660106 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:18:14 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] selftests/cgroup: Fix minor defects in test_cpuset With commit 98149f542530 ("selftests/cgroup: Add test for cpuset affinity on controller disable"), sashiko [1] reported 3 different issues with the new test_cpuset_affinity_on_controller_disable() test. 1) `cpu_set_equal` iterates over mask bytes instead of bits, ignoring CPUs >= 8. 2) Thread synchronization logic allows the main thread to read uninitialized stack memory, causing test flakiness. 3) Test fails instead of skipping gracefully on uniprocessor systems or when CPU 1 is unavailable. Fix the reported issues by: 1) Iterates over the bit size of the mask. 2) Test the new ready flag for each thread to end the wait on the conditional variable and eliminate the now unneeded AFFINITY_THREAD_A_READY and AFFINITY_THREADS_READY test phases. 3) Return KSFT_SKIP on "cpuset.cpus" setting failure.
