    net: memcg: late association of sock to memcg · d752a498

    If a TCP socket is allocated in IRQ context or cloned from unassociated
    (i.e. not associated to a memcg) in IRQ context then it will remain
    unassociated for its whole life. Almost half of the TCPs created on the
    system are created in IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will
    not be accounted by the memcg.
    
    This issue is more widespread in cgroup v1 where network memory
    accounting is opt-in but it can happen in cgroup v2 if the source socket
    for the cloning was created in root memcg.
    
    To fix the issue, just do the association of the sockets at the accept()
    time in the process context and then force charge the memory buffer
    already used and reserved by the socket.
