63 command can be used to assign processor sets to processes, run commands
64 constrained to a given set or list of processors and memory domains, and query
65 information about processor binding, memory binding and policy, sets, and
66 available processors and memory domains in the system.
69 requires a target to modify or query.
70 The target may be specified as a command, process id, thread id, a
71 cpuset id, an irq, a jail, or a NUMA domain.
74 the target's set id or mask may be queried.
79 the target's CPU mask or set id may be set.
80 If no target is specified,
83 Not all combinations of operations and targets are supported.
85 you may not set the id of an existing set or query and launch a command
88 There are two sets applicable to each process and one private mask per thread.
89 Every process in the system belongs to a cpuset.
90 By default processes are started in set 1.
91 The mask or id may be queried using
93 Each thread also has a private mask of CPUs it is allowed to run
94 on that must be a subset of the assigned set.
95 And finally, there is a root set, numbered 0, that is immutable.
96 This last set is the list of all possible CPUs in the system and is
100 Most sets include NUMA memory domain and policy information.
101 This can be inspected with
105 This will specify which NUMA domains are visible to the process and
106 affect where anonymous memory and file pages will be stored on first access.
107 Files accessed first by other processes may specify conflicting policy.
109 When running a command it may join a set specified with
111 otherwise a new set is created.
112 In addition, a mask for the command may be specified using
114 When used in conjunction with
116 the mask modifies the supplied or created set rather than the private mask
119 The options are as follows:
120 .Bl -tag -width ".Fl l Ar cpu-list"
122 Create a new cpuset and assign the target process to that set.
124 The requested operation should reference the cpuset available via the
127 Specifies a NUMA domain id as the target of the operation.
128 This can only be used to query the cpus visible in each numberd domain.
132 to print either a list of valid CPUs or, using
134 the id of the target.
138 option print the id rather than the valid mask of the target.
140 Specifies a jail id or name as the target of the operation.
142 Specifies a list of CPUs to apply to a target.
143 Specification may include
144 numbers separated by '-' for ranges and commas separating individual numbers.
147 may be specified in which case the list includes all CPUs from the root set.
148 .It Fl n Ar policy:domain-list
149 Specifies a list of domains and allocation policy to apply to a target.
150 Ranges may be specified as in
152 Valid policies include first-touch (ft), round-robin (rr), prefer and
154 First-touch allocates on the local domain when memory is available.
155 Round-robin alternates between every possible domain page at a time.
156 The prefer policy accepts only a single domain in the set.
157 The parent of the set is consulted if the preferred domain is unavailable.
158 Interleave operates like round-robin with an implementation defined stripe
162 for more details on policies.
164 Specifies a pid as the target of the operation.
166 Specifies a set id as the target of the operation.
168 The requested operation should reference the root set available via the
171 Specifies a thread id as the target of the operation.
173 Specifies an irq as the target of the operation.
178 Create a new group with CPUs 0-4 inclusive and run
181 .Dl cpuset -c -l 0-4 /bin/sh
183 Query the mask of CPUs the
185 is allowed to run on:
186 .Dl cpuset -g -p <sh pid>
190 to run on CPUs 0 and 2 while its group is still allowed to run on
192 .Dl cpuset -l 0,2 -p <sh pid>
196 belongs to restricting it to CPUs 0 and 2:
197 .Dl cpuset -l 0,2 -c -p <sh pid>
199 Modify the cpuset all threads are in by default to contain only
200 the first 4 CPUs, leaving the rest idle:
201 .Dl cpuset -l 0-3 -s 1
203 Print the id of the cpuset
206 .Dl cpuset -g -i -p <sh pid>
210 into the specified cpuset
212 so it may be managed with other pids in that set:
213 .Dl cpuset -s <setid> -p <pid>
215 Create a new cpuset that is restricted to CPUs 0 and 2 and move
218 .Dl cpuset -C -c -l 0,2 -p <pid>
