Cgroups : Create Control Groups2017/08/30

 
Create Control Groups.
[1] Confirm current valid subsystems on the System.
[root@dlp ~]#
lssubsys

cpuset
cpu,cpuacct
memory
devices
freezer
net_cls,net_prio
blkio
perf_event
hugetlb
pids
[2] For example, Create a Control Group under the CPU subsystem.
# show current settings for cpu subsystem

[root@dlp ~]#
cgget -g cpu /

/:
cpu.rt_period_us: 1000000
cpu.rt_runtime_us: 950000
cpu.stat: nr_periods 0
        nr_throttled 0
        throttled_time 0
cpu.cfs_period_us: 100000
cpu.cfs_quota_us: -1
cpu.shares: 1024

# create a Control group named [cpu_quota-70]

[root@dlp ~]#
cgcreate -g cpu:/cpu_quota-70
# confirm

[root@dlp ~]#
cgget -g cpu /cpu_quota-70

/cpu_quota-70:
cpu.rt_period_us: 1000000
cpu.rt_runtime_us: 0
cpu.stat: nr_periods 0
        nr_throttled 0
        throttled_time 0
cpu.cfs_period_us: 100000
cpu.cfs_quota_us: -1
cpu.shares: 1024

# change [cpu.cfs_quota_us]'s parameter to [70000μs]

# possible to access CPU for [70000μs] time per [100000μs] which is the [cpu.cfs_period_us]'s parameter

[root@dlp ~]#
cgset -r cpu.cfs_quota_us=70000 cpu_quota-70

[root@dlp ~]#
cgget -g cpu /cpu_quota-70

/cpu_quota-70:
cpu.rt_period_us: 1000000
cpu.rt_runtime_us: 0
cpu.stat: nr_periods 0
        nr_throttled 0
        throttled_time 0
cpu.cfs_period_us: 100000
cpu.cfs_quota_us: 70000
cpu.shares: 1024

# setting is created under the specified subsystem like follows

[root@dlp ~]#
ll /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/cpu_quota-70

[4] If you'd like to remove a Control Group, set like follows.
[root@dlp ~]#
cgdelete cpu:cpu_quota-70
# confirm setting

[root@dlp ~]#
lscgroup -g cpu:/cpu_quota-70

[5] The Control Groups that is added by [cgcreate] command is cleared when System restarts, so if you'd like to set it persistence, configure it in setting file like follows.
[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/cgconfig.d/cpu_quota-70.conf
# create new setting file

group cpu_quota-70 {
    cpu {
        cpu.cfs_quota_us="70000";
    }
}
