After upgrading 11.4 -> 12.2, cpuset now behaves rather different: # cpuset -C -p NNN 11.4: a new set is created with all cpu enabled, and the process is moved into that set, with the thread mask unchanged. 12.2: nothing is done, but an error raises if threadmask == setmask. # cpuset -l XX -C -p NNN 11.4: a new set is created with all cpu enabled, and the process is moved into that set, with the thread mask changed to the -l parameter. 12.2: an error raises if threadmask == setmask, otherwise the threadmask is changed to the -l parameter. It seems the -C option does not work anymore (except for creating errors that appear somehow bogus). PMc
