IIUC, with the configuration below cpuset.cpus.effective:6-11 cgroup.controllers:cpuset cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 cgroup.subtree_control:cpuset g1/cpuset.cpus.effective:0-5 g1/cgroup.controllers:cpuset g1/cpuset.sched.load_balance:1 g1/cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 g1/cpuset.cpus:0-5 g1/cpuset.sched.domain_root:1 user.slice/cpuset.cpus.effective:6-11 user.slice/cgroup.controllers:cpuset user.slice/cpuset.sched.load_balance:1 user.slice/cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 user.slice/cpuset.cpus:6-11 user.slice/cpuset.sched.domain_root:0 init.scope/cpuset.cpus.effective:6-11 init.scope/cgroup.controllers:cpuset init.scope/cpuset.sched.load_balance:1 init.scope/cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 init.scope/cpuset.cpus:6-11 init.scope/cpuset.sched.domain_root:0 system.slice/cpuset.cpus.effective:6-11 system.slice/cgroup.controllers:cpuset system.slice/cpuset.sched.load_balance:1 system.slice/cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 system.slice/cpuset.cpus:6-11 system.slice/cpuset.sched.domain_root:0 machine.slice/cpuset.cpus.effective:6-11 machine.slice/cgroup.controllers:cpuset machine.slice/cpuset.sched.load_balance:1 machine.slice/cpuset.mems.effective:0-1 machine.slice/cpuset.cpus:6-11 machine.slice/cpuset.sched.domain_root:0 I should be able to # echo 0-4 >g1/cpuset.cpus ? It doesn't let me. I'm not sure we actually want to allow that, but that's what would I expect as per your text above. Thanks, - Juri BTW: thanks a lot for your prompt feedback and hope it's OK if I keep playing and asking questions. :) -- 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
