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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1783336 +++

Description of problem:
In general, drop-in configuration files should be used whenever possible.  This reduces the contention and a need for locks when two or more processes are trying to write to a shared configuration file.  The tuned daemon's [scheduler] plugin writes settings (CPUAffinity) into /etc/systemd/system.conf.  I suggest creating something like /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/50-tuned.conf instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use tuned's [scheduler] plugin or look in the tuned's current code.

Actual results:
/etc/systemd/system.conf modified.

Expected results:
A configuration file in /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/ written.

Additional info:
This is mostly a problem when running containerized tuned on RHCOS, where there are limited number of modifications a container can do on the host without causing potential issues.
