Hi all, I am thinking of making SGE (or sge_execd) more systemd friendly. Right now, there is some (as per 8.1.9) support for cgroups as per: USE_CGROUPS=y/n My proposal is to make it: USE_CGROUPS=y/n/systemd when set to systemd, we would not to detect and any cgroups (and setting cpuset controller) manually. Instead, shepherd daemon would run the job via "systemd-run" binary.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-run.html systemd-run can set various cgroup controllers via it's "--property" flag, achieving the same we do now manually. We would probably also utilize the "-scope" flag to make the job running synchronously. Initially, I was thinking about implementing the same via "starter_method" flag, but systemd-run needs to be run as root, so it has to be hardcoded into shepherd.c and sge_execd daemon needs to also be running under root privileges, not sure if capabilities would help here. Does this initiative make any sense? I can try to implement it myself, but I am not familiar with sge internals. I can try... Ondrej
