Summary
Keep cgroup memory setup and teardown predicates aligned so swap-only limits do not leave persistent cgroups behind.
Impact
With cgroup v2,
--cgroup_mem_swap_max 0creates a per-processNSJAIL.<pid>cgroup, butfinishFromParent()previously checked onlycgroup_mem_max,cgroup_pids_max, andcgroup_cpu_ms_per_sec. As a result, every completed process left an empty cgroup on the host.This is especially visible in
LISTENmode: 25 completed TCP connections against an unmodified build left 25NSJAIL.<pid>directories. Connection limits only bound concurrent children, so they do not bound this cumulative leak. A long-running listener can eventually consume cgroup descendants and kernel memory.Cgroup v1 had the same predicate mismatch when a positive swap-only limit was configured.
Verification
Built both current
masterand this branch with the project Dockerfile, then ran each image privileged with the host cgroup-v2 mount.Unmodified
master, after 25 completed listener connections:This branch, after the same 25 connections:
Focused one-shot checks also leave zero cgroups for each configuration:
Additional checks:
