Problems with cgroups-memory in the kernel

[keeshah]

Hiya,

I try to run a kubernetes cluster on raspberry and ran into the cgroups mem problem, that seem to be around since a while. I found a doku about adding a parameter in cmdline.txt:

dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles

what seems to have no effect. I am running the latest firmware and kernel 4.19:

root@akira:~# uname -a
Linux akira 4.19.30-v7+ #1209 SMP Tue Mar 26 13:14:20 GMT 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@akira:~# rpi-update
*** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom
*** Performing self-update
*** Relaunching after update
*** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom
*** Your firmware is already up to date

Does anybody else have another idea? I skip the Systemtest for kubernetes right now, which will force the clusterjoin, but this isn't a very good solution.

Cheers,
Dirk.

cgroups is disabled in the rpi-update kernel right now. It causes a memory leak which eventually locks the pi up. The change will be reverted once the problem is fixed upstream.

Thanks a ton!!

This explains it.

I will wait for an update.

Cheers,
Dirk.

For the sake of those finding this from Google- has this been resolved upstream as of March 29, 2020?

Bump? Any chance getting some indication has it been resolved or not, yet?
