If systemd is configured to use hybrid mode which enables the use of
both cgroup v1 and v2, systemd will create new cgroup on both the default
root (v2) and netprio_cgroup hierarchy (v1) for a new session and attach
task to the two cgroups. If the task does some network thing then the v2
cgroup can never be freed after the session exited.
One of our machines ran into OOM due to this memory leak.
In the scenario described above when sk_alloc() is called
cgroup_sk_alloc() thought it's in v2 mode, so it stores
the cgroup pointer in sk->sk_cgrp_data and increments
the cgroup refcnt, but then sock_update_netprioidx()
thought it's in v1 mode, so it stores netprioidx value
in sk->sk_cgrp_data, so the cgroup refcnt will never be freed.
Currently we do the mode switch when someone writes to the ifpriomap
cgroup control file. The easiest fix is to also do the switch when
a task is attached to a new cgroup.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
