Hi,

I created a "cpu" cgroup:
     mkdir /dev/cgroup
     mkdir /dev/cgroup/cpu
     mount -t cgroup -o cpu cpu /dev/cgroup/cpu
     cd /dev/cgroup/cpu/
     mkdir low

Now, I try to move tasks to the sub-cgroup "low":
     for task in `cat /dev/cgroup/cpu/tasks`; do   /bin/echo $task >
/dev/cgroup/cpu/low/tasks || echo "Failed to move PID $task"; done

/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 3
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 4
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 5
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 6
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 7
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 8
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
.
.
.
/bin/echo: write error: Invalid argument
Failed to move PID 58

I was able to move the "init" process itself. However, I failed to move specific
kernel threads:

root        21     2  0 18:16 ?        00:00:00 [sirq-block/1]


Is there something special about these threads that prevents them from being
moved to a different cgroup? Is there something I am missing?

Thanks!
Avi.
