cgroup tasks file error

[ccmail111]

Hi Serge,

Thanks for the tip. 
It seems to work (no ns).

[host:~]$ mount -t cgroup cpuset -ocpuset /dev/cgroup
[host:~]$ ls /dev/cgroup
cgroup.procs                    cpuset.memory_spread_page
cpuset.cpu_exclusive            cpuset.memory_spread_slab
cpuset.cpus                     cpuset.mems
cpuset.mem_exclusive            cpuset.sched_load_balance
cpuset.mem_hardwall             cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level
cpuset.memory_migrate           notify_on_release
cpuset.memory_pressure          release_agent
cpuset.memory_pressure_enabled  tasks

$ps aux | grep daemon
root       572  0.0  0.9  88816  2216 ?        Sl   18:25   0:00 myproc --daemon

[host:~]$ mkdir /dev/cgroup/hello
[host:~]$ echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/hello/cpuset.mems
[host:~]$ echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/hello/cpuset.cpus
[host:~]$ echo 572 > /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
[host:~]$ cat /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
572

Now move it back..

[host:~]$ echo 572 > /dev/cgroup/tasks

check:
[host:~]$ cat /dev/cgroup/hello/tasks
[host:~]$
[host:~]$ cat /dev/cgroup/tasks | grep 572
572
[host:~]$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[host:~]$

Thanks everyone !
