Description of problem: When using virt-login-shell, the resultant process is switch into the containers namespace but the cgroup remains that or the parent shell, instead of the cgroup of the container Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and start LXC container 2. Use virt-login-shell to switch into container 3. Inspect the cgroup of the resultant process Actual results: CGroup remains cgroup of shell from which virt-login-shell was started. Expected results: CGroup switches to container's cgroup Additional info: If we dont change cgroup then any process launched from virt-login-shell is not confined to CPU/Memory limits assigned to container.
The same problem exists with the 'virsh lxc-enter-namespace' command.
This appears to be still relevant
