Hello,
Working in a development that uses control groups and libcgroup, I have found that the files in control groups directories need write permission for the group of users also.
In example, here is an excerpt of the configuration of libcgroup, from file "/etc/cgconfig.conf" ******** BEGIN OF EXCERPT group realtime { perm { task { uid = root; gid = audio; } admin { uid = root; gid = jobadmin; } } cpu { cpu.policy = 1; cpu.shares = 800; cpu.rt_runtime_us = 900000; } memory { memory.swappiness = 10; } } group usr { .... }
# batch processes group usr/batch { perm { task { uid = root; gid = users; } admin { uid = root; gid = jobadmin; } } cpu { cpu.policy = 3; cpu.shares = 400; } memory { memory.swappiness = 60; } } ******* END OF EXCERPT
In cgroup "realtime" We obtain from this configuration that the user "root" is the owner of the cgroup's files, the admins are users in the "jobadmin" group and the users are the "audio" group. the users that are members of group audio must have write permission to the tasks file to add jobs to this cgroup. And the members of group jobadmin need write permission to the cgroup control files.
Here is attached a near trivial patch to enable it. ******** BEGIN OF PATCH --- linux-2.6.37/kernel/cgroup.c +++ linux-2.6.37/kernel/cgroup.c 2011-01-30 15:16:00.556562499 +0100 @@ -1441,7 +1441,7 @@ static int cgroup_set_super(struct super static int cgroup_get_rootdir(struct super_block *sb) { struct inode *inode = - cgroup_new_inode(S_IFDIR | S_IRUGO | S_IXUGO | S_IWUSR, sb); + cgroup_new_inode(S_IFDIR | S_IRUGO | S_IXUGO | S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP, sb); struct dentry *dentry; if (!inode) @@ -2265,9 +2265,9 @@ static int cgroup_create_dir(struct cgro * @cft: the control file in question * * returns cft->mode if ->mode is not 0 - * returns S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR if it has both a read and a write handler + * returns S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR|S_IWGRP if it has both a read and a write handler * returns S_IRUGO if it has only a read handler - * returns S_IWUSR if it has only a write hander + * returns S_IWUSR|S_IWGRP if it has only a write hander */ static mode_t cgroup_file_mode(const struct cftype *cft) { @@ -2281,8 +2281,10 @@ static mode_t cgroup_file_mode(const str mode |= S_IRUGO; if (cft->write || cft->write_u64 || cft->write_s64 || - cft->write_string || cft->trigger) + cft->write_string || cft->trigger) { mode |= S_IWUSR; + mode |= S_IWGRP; + } return mode; } @@ -3244,7 +3246,7 @@ static struct cftype files[] = { .open = cgroup_tasks_open, .write_u64 = cgroup_tasks_write, .release = cgroup_pidlist_release, - .mode = S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR, + .mode = S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP, }, { .name = CGROUP_FILE_GENERIC_PREFIX "procs", ******** END OF PATCH see a more complete explanation of the development and the related code in following URL.
