Any idea or feedback for the person to contact?

When I try to move a RT task to a different cgroup(shown below) I get a EINVAL error.However I can change the cgroup first and then change the sched policy.After looking into kernel source code(I dont use CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED config) I was able to extract this piece of logic
chrt -p 777 pid 777's current scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER pid 777's current scheduling priority: 0 cat /proc/777/cgroup 2:cpu,cpuacct:/system.slice 1:name=systemd:/system.slice/d.service
chrt -f -p 50 777 root@mgu-high:~# chrt -p 777 pid 777's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO pid 777's current scheduling priority: 50 /bin/echo 777>/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/interaction.slice/ echo: write error: Invalid argumenttasks After browsing kernel sources I was able to find out the reason of failure.
static int cpu_cgroup_can_attach(struct cgroup_subsys_state *css,
struct cgroup_taskset *tset)
{
struct task_struct *task;
cgroup_taskset_for_each(task, tset) {
#ifdef CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED
if (!sched_rt_can_attach(css_tg(css), task))
return -EINVAL;
#else
/* We don't support RT-tasks being in separate groups */
if (task->sched_class != &fair_sched_class)
{
return -EINVAL;
}
#endif
}
return 0;
}My question is why is this check required? Also, changing cgroups first and then the policy of FIFO works without issue(?) for the task.Thanksbr
