The /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc cgroup has no controllers attached to it. > Reproducible: Always > > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. set rc_controller_cgroups="NO" in /etc/rc.conf > 2. reboot > > Actual Results: > # find /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc/|wc -l > 224 What about looking in /sys/fs/cgroup for any directories other than openrc? rc_controller_cgroups controls directories like "cpu" "memory" etc that are in /sys/fs/cgroup. Everything under /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc will be created regardless. > Expected Results: > # find /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc > find: `/sys/fs/cgroup/openrc': No such file or directory This would imply that /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc does not exist, and that is not how the cgroup integration works, unless you do not have cgroups enabled in any form in the kernel. > > > <quote /etc/init.d/sysfs > > mount_cgroups() > { > mountinfo -q /sys/fs/cgroup || return 0 > > local agent="/lib64/rc/sh/cgroup-release-agent.sh" > mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc > mount -n -t cgroup \ > -o none,${sysfs_opts},name=openrc,release_agent="$agent" \ > openrc /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc > echo 1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/openrc/notify_on_release > yesno ${rc_controller_cgroups:-YES} && [ -e /proc/cgroups ] || > return 0 > [...] > </quote> > > > is there a (compatibility?) reason why the line which checks for the setting > of the rc_controller_cgroups variable is not the first line of the function? This is by design, we always have the openrc cgroup for tracking which services and child processes are started by OpenRC. It doesn't have any controllers attached (see the "-o none" in the mount command, so it shouldn't break anything.
