[PATCH v4 2/5] cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 09:37:58 EST


By default, the clone(2) syscall spawn a child process into the same
cgroup as its parent. With the use of the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag
introduced by commit ef2c41cf38a7 ("clone3: allow spawning processes
into cgroups"), the child will be spawned into a different cgroup which
is somewhat similar to writing the child's tid into "cgroup.threads".

The current cpuset_fork() method does not properly handle the
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case where the cpuset of the child may be different
from that of its parent. Update the cpuset_fork() method to treat the
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case similar to cpuset_attach().

Since the newly cloned task has not been running yet, its actual
memory usage isn't known. So it is not necessary to make change to mm
in cpuset_fork().

Fixes: ef2c41cf38a7 ("clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups")
