That is what I was trying to understand/break. Fortunately, I still can't break it! bravo! :-) In the test you mentioned the task in the "clustered" fails to sched_setattr(). Test output example: + '[' '!' -d partitioned ']' + mkdir partitioned + echo 4 + echo 0 + echo 0 + echo 1155 + cat /proc/self/cpuset /partitioned + /root/m main thread [1162] deadline thread started [1164] + '[' '!' -d clustered ']' + mkdir clustered + echo 4-7 + echo 0 + echo 0 + echo 1 + echo 1155 + cat /proc/self/cpuset + /root/m /clustered + /root/m main thread [1166] sched_setattr: Operation not permitted I will let you know if I find something odd. -- Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
