Hello,

Working on a real time application, Getting runtime error at sched_setattr as "Operation Not permitted".Running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (4.4.0-97-generic kernel, x86_64 platform)
C program code excerpt as below:

unsigned int flags = 0;
sched_getattr(0, &attr, sizeof (struct sched_attr), 0);
if (ret != 0)
perror("getattr failed:");
attr.sched_policy = SCHED_DEADLINE;
attr.sched_runtime = 5 * 100 * 1000;
attr.sched_deadline = 8 * 100 * 1000;
attr.sched_period = 10 * 100 * 1000;
attr.size = sizeof (attr);
attr.sched_flags = 0;
attr.sched_nice = 0;
attr.sched_priority = 0;

if(sched_setaffinity(0,sizeof(set), &set) < 0)
{
perror("sched_setaffinity :");
return 0;
}
ret = sched_setattr(0, &attr, flags);
if(ret!=0)
{
perror("sched_setattr failed: ");
}

But, If I comment the sched_setaffinity() call, it runs without error. Also, using SCHED_FIFO by calling sched_setscheduler() doesn't give me any error after setting CPU affinity. Only the combination of sched_setaffinity with sched_setattr() generates error. I am running in sudo mode.

Thanks in advance,

would be nice to see what kind of error was generated....

The error is:
sched_setattr failed : Operation not permitted

This corresponds to return error code of sched_setattr() : EPERM

Thank you
