cgroup: cgroup-v1: do not exclude cgrp_dfl_root
Found an issue within cgroup_attach_task_all() fn which seem
to exclude cgrp_dfl_root (cgroupv2) while attaching tasks to
the given cgroup. This was noticed when the system was running
qemu/kvm with kernel vhost helper threads. It appears that the
vhost layer which uses cgroup_attach_task_all() fn to assign the
vhost kthread to the right qemu cgroup works fine with cgroupv1
based configuration but not in cgroupv2. With cgroupv2, the vhost
helper thread ends up just belonging to the root cgroup as is
shown below:
$ stat -fc %T /sys/fs/cgroup/
cgroup2fs
$ sudo pgrep qemu
1916421
$ ps -eL | grep 1916421
1916421 1916421 ? 00:00:01 qemu-system-x86

1916437 1916437 ? 00:00:00 kvm-pit/1916421
$ cat /proc/1916421/cgroup
0::/machine.slice/machine-qemu\x2d18\x2dDroplet\x2d7572850.scope/emulator
$ cat /proc/1916439/cgroup
0::/machine.slice/machine-qemu\x2d18\x2dDroplet\x2d7572850.scope/emulator
$ cat /proc/1916433/cgroup
0::/
From above, it can be seen that the vhost kthread (PID: 1916433)
doesn't seem to belong the qemu cgroup like other qemu PIDs.
After applying this patch:
