On !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED configurations it is currently not possible to move RT tasks between cgroups to which cpu controller has been attached; but it is oddly possible to first move tasks around and then make them RT (setschedule to FIFO/RR). E.g.: # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1 # chrt -fp 10 $$ # echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # chrt -op 0 $$ # echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks # chrt -fp 10 $$ # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks 2345 2598 # chrt -p 2345 pid 2345's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO pid 2345's current scheduling priority: 10 Existing code comes with a comment saying the "we don't support RT-tasks being in separate groups". Such comment is however stale and belongs to pre-RT_GROUP_SCHED times. Also, it doesn't make much sense for !RT_GROUP_ SCHED configurations, since checks related to RT bandwidth are not performed at all in these cases. Make moving RT tasks between cpu controller groups viable by removing special case check for RT (and DEADLINE) tasks.

Any input?
