Hi,
> Have you been able to reproduce this on mainline ?
Yes. I have been debugging and testing with v5.12-rc8. After I found
the suspected
commit in ~v4.8, I compiled both the v4.4.267 and v4.9.267, and was able to
successfully reproduce it on v4.9.267 and not on v4.4.267. It is also
reproducible
on 5.11.16-arch1-1 that my distro ships, and it is reproducible on all
the machines
I have tested.
> When running the script below on v5.12, I'm not able to reproduce your problem
v5.12 is pretty fresh, so I have not tested on anything before v5.12-rc8. I did
compile v5.12.0 now, and I am able to reproduce it there as well.
Which version did you try (the one for cgroup v1 or v2)? And/or did you try
to run the inspection bpftrace script? If you tested the cg v1
version, it will often
end up at 50/50, 51/49 etc., and sometimes 60/40+-, making it hard to
verify without inspection.
I have attached a version of the "sub cgroup" example for cgroup v1,
that also force
the process to start on cpu 1 (CPU_ME), and sends it over to cpu 0
(CPU) after attaching
to the new cgroup. That will make it evident each time. This example should also
always end up with 50/50 per stress process, but "always" ends up more
like 99/1.
Can you confirm if you are able to reproduce with this version?
