Add cgroups support to crash-python
a project by mkoutny
Updated almost 4 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️. 4 followers.

To ease debugging cgroup relates issues this suggests to:

  • list cgroup hierarchy tree(s),
  • list task cgroup membership,
  • dump basic cgroup attributes,
  • dump attributes of controllers associated with a cgroup.

An alternative approach (independent project) would be to add support for traversing in-memory filesystems (e.g. kernfs).

      • list cgroup hierarchy tree(s),

        • implemented /proc/cgroups-like listing and simple recursive kernfs listing

      • list task cgroup membership,

        • implemented /proc/$PID/cgroup-like listing

      • dump basic cgroup attributes,

        • worked around by reporting address of struct cgroup

      • dump attributes of controllers associated with a cgroup.

        • didn't get down to controller-specific stuff.

      The result in personal repo [1]. Depends on kernfs crash-python module and that's subject to refinements before merging (docs, tests) [2]. Hopefully, after adding docs and tests to cgroup code it would be mergeable as well.
