Where we put these on the host doesn't matter. The question is, we create container c1, in which cgroup do we put the init process? Assume we create /lxc/c1 on the host as we do now. This becomes / in the container's cgroup namespace. Where do we put init? If we put it into (namespaced) /, then systemd will not be able to create any cgroups. So we should probably put it into /init.scope. This is fine with cgroup namespaces since it can see it is in '/init.scope' (or '/' if an unprivileged container couldn't create a cgroup for some controllers). But if we do not have cgroup namespaces, systemd sees it is running in perhaps /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-c6.scope/lxc/lxdvm1/lxc/c1/init.scope. In that case we want systemd to recognize init.scope and create services under /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-c6.scope/lxc/lxdvm1/lxc/c1. > > > - All other processes are put in another slice > > > "c1-something.slice" > > > > Which other processes? > Well, all processes, systemd starts are either put in system.slice or > user.slice.

AFAIK all other processes will be created by systemd. The q is what will it do. If we put systemd in /lxc.slice/c1.scope/init.scope, will it take that as its cgroup root and try to create and move itself into /lxc.slice/c1.scope/init.scope ? If so it will fail since it cannot create a cgroup while it is in it. So I think I've convinced myself that we need to collaborate with systemd on this. Perhaps we can agree with it on a default cgroup in which it should be started to tell it "this is the leaf cgroup for your init". So if it sees it is in /a/b/c/.cg_leaf, then it will know that /a/b/c is its root. > If we do not want to create scopes we are left with the option of > forcing "init" in a separate cgroup from the rest of the containers > processes. > > Christian > > > > 2. maybe we can teach systemd to accept being in a leaf node > > 3. maybe we can build an exception into cgroup namespaces such that > > a cgns root also is an exception to the no-tasks-in-non-leaf-nodes > > rule.

I've added support for it to cgmanager, and have used lxc with the unified hierarchy through cgmanager. Without cgmanager it will currently definately not work. It's worth discussing how we should handle it - and how init wants us to handle it. With cgmanager I actually built in the support so that you could treat it as a legacy hierarchy, and upstart was happy with that since it used cgmanager. Systemd will not be happy with that, and it will be a problem. The only exception to the "no tasks in a non-leaf node" rule is for the / cgroup. So lxc would need to place init in say /lxc/c1/.leaf, and systemd would have to accept that /lxc/c1 is the container's cgroup. A few possibilities: 1. maybe if we place systemd in /lxc/c1/init.scope it will be happy 2. maybe we can teach systemd to accept being in a leaf node 3. maybe we can build an exception into cgroup namespaces such that a cgns root also is an exception to the no-tasks-in-non-leaf-nodes rule. But I doubt that will fly. ___ lxc-devel mailing list lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-devel
