Subject[QUESTION] Dying cgroups in subsystem cpu, pids and named hierarchy systemd
Date
Hi all,

When i do some tests with kernel-4.19.x,i found some dying cgroups.

There are dying cgroup in subsystem cpu/cpuacct, memory, pids and named hierarchy systemd.

The root cause of dying cgroups in memory subsystem is that some charged pages aren't gone.

I don't figure out why there are dying cgroup in cpu, pids and named hierarchy systemd.

I used to turn on/off Delegate and do operation "systemctl daemon-reload" in the machine,

but now can't reproduce it.

Is this normal and what may cause this or any suggestions about this?


The details about the machine with problem is as below:
# mount -t cgroup
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,xattr,release_agent=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/pids type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,pids)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/memory type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,memory)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,blkio)

cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,net_cls,net_prio)
cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,cpuset)

cpu,cpuacct on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct type cgroup (rw,relatime,seclabel,cpu,cpuacct)
