cgroup-tools

DEPRECATION NOTICE:

These scripts are useless on a modern linux with unified cgroup-v2 hierarchy.
On a systemd-enabled machine, use "systemd-run --scope" instead.

A set of tools to work with cgroup tree and process classification/QoS according to it.

More (of a bit outdated) info can be found in a blog post here.

Main script there - cgconf - allows to use YAML like this to configure initial cgroup hierarcy like this:

path: /sys/fs/cgroup

defaults:
  _tasks: root:wheel:664
  _admin: root:wheel:644
  # _path: root:root:755 # won't be chown/chmod'ed, if unset
  freezer:

groups:

  # Must be applied to root cgroup
  memory.use_hierarchy: 1

  # base:
  #   _default: true # to put all pids here initially
  #   cpu.shares: 1000
  #   blkio.weight: 1000

  user.slice:
    cpu:
      cfs_quota_us: 1_500_000
      cfs_period_us: 1_000_000

  tagged:

    cave:
      _tasks: root:paludisbuild
      _admin: root:paludisbuild
      cpu:
        shares: 100
        cfs_quota_us: 100_000
        cfs_period_us: 250_000
      blkio.weight: 100
      memory.soft_limit_in_bytes: 2G

    desktop:

      roam:
        _tasks: root:users
        cpu.shares: 300
        blkio.weight: 300
        memory.soft_limit_in_bytes: 2G

      de_misc:
        memory.soft_limit_in_bytes: 700M
        memory.limit_in_bytes: 1500M

    vm:
      quasi:
      misc:
        cpu.shares: 200
        blkio.weight: 100
        memory.soft_limit_in_bytes: 1200M
        memory.limit_in_bytes: 1500M

    bench:
      # Subdir for adhoc cgroups created by user
      tmp:
        # Corresponding pw_gid will be used, if "user:" is specified
        # Specs like "user", ":group:770" or "::775" are all valid.
        _tasks: 'fraggod:'
        _admin: 'fraggod:'
        _path: 'fraggod:'
        # These will be initialized as dirs with proper uid/gid, but no stuff applied there
        cpuacct:
        memory:
        blkio:
      # Limits that groups in tmp/ can't transcend
      cpu.shares: 500
      blkio.weight: 500
      memory.soft_limit_in_bytes: 300M
      memory.limit_in_bytes: 500M

And then something like cgrc <tagged-name> <cmd> <args...> to run anything inside these (can also be used in shebang with -s, with cmd from stdin, etc).

Other tools allow waiting for threads within some cgroup to finish before proceeding (cgwait), put stuff running there on hold easily (cgfreeze) and run stuff in temp-cgroup, reporting accounting data for it afterwards (cgtime).

cgconf and cgrc turn out to be surprisingly useful still, despite systemd adding knobs to control cgroup resource limits (but not all of them, and spread over lot of small files, which are pain if you need a big picture of e.g. weights) and systemd-run, which hides i/o of whatever it runs in systemd slices.
