There is still one problem that we hadn't yet had the bandwidth to tackle that should be added to your official TODO list. The cpu cgroup needs a real-time timeslice to accept real time tasks. It defaults to 0, meaning that a newly created cpu cgroup cannot accept tasks (rt tasks) without the user having to manually configure it. As far as I know, this problem hasn't yet been fixed. The fix of course, is as trivial as setting a new value instead of 0 as a default. The complication lies in determining which value should that be. There are many things that we should ask from a controller to implement in order to be able to handle fully joint hierarchies. One of them, IMHO, is that if you drop a task into a newly created cgroup it should run without the user having to do anything for it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
