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.

Comment 3 Ondřej Lysoněk 2017-10-02 11:41:03 UTC 
I think this should be already fixed (more or less) by
https://github.com/redhat-performance/tuned/commit/f9f5b073a599c

The taskset errors are probably caused by trying to set affinity of some kernel threads. The commit above changes the log level of the errors related to kernel threads to debug, so you won't see them anymore.

Jeff, could you test the following test build? If you still see the errors, please attach another log from a run in debug mode.
https://olysonek.fedorapeople.org/tuned/tuned-2.8.0-6testonly/
It was built from this branch:
https://github.com/olysonek/tuned/tree/fixes

The commit above should hide the errors, but there's another problem. I think the scheduler plugin does rollback of settings which were not really set. E.g. if you have the following in a profile:
[scheduler]
group.ksoftirqd=0:f:2:*:ksoftirqd.*

then the cpu affinity will not be set when the profile is applied ('*' is used as the affinity), but tuned will try to set the original affinity, when the profile is unapplied. I propose we fix this when we get around to refactoring the scheduler plugin a bit, as I don't think this is terribly important and I don't feel like going through the code again only because of this :).

Sorry, I am in a different position than when I originally reported this problem and I won't have time to verify this test build. Is this something you could ask QE to test?
Comment 5 Ondřej Lysoněk 2017-10-13 15:01:02 UTC 
Well this is the sort of bug which would be best tested in your environment. Otherwise we can't be sure it's really fixed, as there might be more unrelated issues. So let's just hope it's fixed, I guess :).
