RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan Chaloupka 2014-09-17 12:48:04 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #647107 +++

Description:
cgconfigparser does not properly parse the multi-line variables

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
today rawhide snapshot

How reproducible:
use configuration file:

# Configuration file generated by cgsnapshot
mount {
	devices = /cgroup/1;
}
group pom {
	devices {
		devices.deny="a *:* rwm";
		devices.allow="a *:* w
c 8:* r";
	}
}


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # cgconfigparser -l conf file
2. # cat //cgroup/1/pom/devices.list 
a *:* rwm

3. # echo "a *:* rwm" > /cgroup/1/pom/devices.deny
   # echo "" > /cgroup/1/pom/devices.allow
   # echo "a *:* w" > /cgroup/1/pom/devices.allow
   # echo "c 8:* r" > /cgroup/1/pom/devices.allow
4. # cat //cgroup/1/pom/devices.list 
a *:* rwm
c 8:* r
  
Actual results:
# cat //cgroup/1/pom/devices.list 
a *:* rwm

Expected results:
# cat //cgroup/1/pom/devices.list 
a *:* rwm
c 8:* r

Comment 1 Jan Chaloupka 2014-09-17 12:55:14 UTC
For devices, I was not able to test this case. Tested with netprio_cgroup.

Tested on virtual machine with fedora and rhel with network interface lo, eth0-eth3.

net_prio has to be created before:
# modprobe netprio_cgroup
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio
# mount -t cgroup -onet_prio none /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio


Setting from shell:
# echo "lo 7" > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap
# echo "eth 0" > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap
# echo "eth 1" > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap
# echo "eth 2" > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap
# echo "eth 3" > /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap


Setting using libcgroups:
# cat /etc/cgconfig.conf
group testGroup {
        net_prio {
                net_prio.ifpriomap="lo 7
eth0    66
eth1 5
eth2 4
eth3 3";
        }
}

How to test it:
1) service cgconfig start
2) cgsnapshot
or
1) cgconfigparser -l /etc/cgconfig.conf
2) cgsnapshot

If cgsnapshot does not show any change:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/testGroup/net_prio.ifpriomap
