Description Robert Kennedy 2012-08-06 19:04:32 UTC
Description of problem:

We run a custom 3.1 kernel that does not enable CONFIG_CGROUP_* like the stock Fedora kernel. When we upgraded to systemd-37-25.fc16.x86_64 from systemd-37-13.fc16.x86_64 we started getting these messages in our /var/log/messages:

Aug  6 13:48:16 dev3 systemd-logind[1240]: Failed to reset controller cpu: No such file or directory

It would seem that modifying /etc/systemd/systemd-logind.conf so it has

ResetControllers=

instead of

ResetControllers=cpu

should prevent this, but it does not.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-37-25.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a 3.1 kernel without CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y (I think it's this one)
2. Attempt to quell sending a reset to a nonexistent resource controller with systemd-logind.conf
  
Actual results:

systemd-logind still tries to send a reset to the cpu resource controller

Expected results:

systemd-logind should not try to send a reset to a nonexistent resource controller

This is fixed in F18.

Comment 2 Shawn Bohrer 2012-09-14 15:08:43 UTC
Hey Lennart,

Will this be fixed in F16 as well?  I hope so since F16 should still be receiving updates and this was a regression between systemd-37-13.fc16.x86_64 to systemd-37-25.fc16.x86_64
