Dear Friends or Foes ;-) It is quite some time now that I first tried to find an adequate solution to my problem; none managed to get me right yet :=-( Basically, I would like to limit CPU resource usage (i.e. ~= time share) allocated to a said cgroup to let's say 30% of the machine processing power, or 30 % of time. ( SMP and HyperThreading technologies will change the interpretation of that goal; regardless, please read on. ) I am in the very need to throttle some cgroup's CPU usage, regardless the overall machine CPU utilisation. I mean that I need to cap the processing power dedicated and allowed to some cgroup, whether the CPU(s) is(are) otherwise IDLE or BUSY (with respect to other tasks or groups). Any hint on how to accomplish this? All that I happend to do was to create a renice-boosted daemon that alternately froze then unfroze the said cgroup (using a calculated time ratio between running/frozen states) to keep the cgroup's CPU usage under control.
