Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 of problem:
setmem will get wrong error message when cgroup is unmounted.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-19.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.196.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-207.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure a running lxc application container and cgroup is mounted.
2. virsh -c lxc:/// aaa list
Id Name State
----------------------------------
6182 aaa running
virsh -c lxc:/// aaa aaa

3. unmount cgroup
# /etc/init.d/cgconfig stop
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd restart
# lscgroup
cgroups can't be listed: Cgroup is not mounted
4. setmem of the lxc guest
# virsh -c lxc:/// setmem aaa 512000
error：this function is not supported by the connection driver: cgroups must be configured on the host
# virsh -c lxc:/// dominfo aaa

in debug info:
Actual results:
Step4 error message is incorrect.
Expected results:
The error is not right, *_OPERATION_INVALID is proper error code, but
the more sensiable error from cgroup detection is overridden, we need
the error from cgroup detection but not this one.
Patch for upstream, but hasn't been backported to rhel6.2:
commit 6ac47762bb9c3851b07eaa871bfaf7ccd6017147

lxc: Cleanup improper VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT use
s/VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT/VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID/
Special case is changes on lxcDomainInterfaceStats, if it's not
implemented on the platform, prints error like:
lxcError(VIR_ERR_OPERATION_INVALID, "%s",
_("interface stats not implemented on this platform"));
As the function is supported by driver actually, error like
VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT is confused.
The bug has been fixed on libvirt-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64:
# virsh -c lxc:/// setmem toy 400000
error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroups must be configured on the host
