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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Before moving a thread or a process, tuna checks the stat file to see if PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set, which means the thread/process is not migratable. This was working correctly for processes, but the location of the stat file was slightly different for threads causing the check to fail. This code has been modified to correctly handle thread migration.

Description Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 2015-11-27 13:33:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Tuna is not moving threads away from isolated (-i) CPUs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tuna-0.11.1-10.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Isolate some CPUs using tuna. For example, on a 4 CPUs box isolate the CPUs
2 and 3.

# tuna -c 2,3 -i

2. Check the cpumask of all threads of a threaded application. For example, on
a RHEL7, check the cpumask of tuned's threads:

# ps -eLo lwp,comm | grep " tuned"  | while read lwp comm; do taskset -p $lwp; done

Actual results:
Only the threads with the same PID/TID has the correct cpumask (excluding
isolated CPUs). For example:

# ps -eLo lwp,comm | grep " tuned"  | while read lwp comm; do taskset -p $lwp; done
pid 761's current affinity mask: 3
pid 820's current affinity mask: f
pid 822's current affinity mask: f
pid 829's current affinity mask: f


Expected results:
All threads with the correct cpumask (excluding isolated CPUs) set. For example

# ps -eLo lwp,comm | grep " tuned"  | while read lwp comm; do taskset -p $lwp; done
pid 761's current affinity mask: 3
pid 820's current affinity mask: 3
pid 822's current affinity mask: 3
pid 829's current affinity mask: 3

Additional info:
tuna-0.11.1-8.el7.noarch works fine.

The following is the commit that caused the regression
commit 29fbb6e82357c87be652c6717ef52d808ec0af78
tuna: Decide whether to isolate a thread based on PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Comment 3 Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 2015-12-21 14:07:28 UTC
John pointed me a tuna build with the proposed fix and I tested it.

It works!

Test output:
