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 Tru Huynh 2011-11-11 22:01:32 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #683541 +++

Description of problem:
cgconfig fails to parse due to commas in the conf file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Problem seen in both: libcgroup-0.35.1-3.fc13, libcgroup-0.36.2-5.fc14 and probably other versions as well.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a line to the config file that uses a comma for the mask.
For example:  cpuset.cpus = 1-3,11;

2. Attempt to start cgconfig

3. Fails due to parse error.
  
Actual results:
cgconfig fails to start

Expected results:
cgconfig starts successfully

Additional info:
adding a \, to the regular expression on line 35 of lex.l in the libcgroup source fixes it.

I believe this was fixed in the upstream sources, and probably an update has been delivered. Can you please confirm if it still exists for you?

appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
