We are testing network memory accounting in our setup and noticed inconsistent network memory usage and often unrelated cgroups network usage correlates with testing workload. On further inspection, it seems like mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() are broken in irq context specially for cgroup v1. mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() can be called in irq context and kind of assumes that this can only happen from sk_clone_lock() and the source sock object has already associated cgroup. However in cgroup v1, where network memory accounting is opt-in, the source sock can be unassociated with any cgroup and the new cloned sock can get associated with unrelated interrupted cgroup. Cgroup v2 can also suffer if the source sock object was created by process in the root cgroup or if sk_alloc() is called in irq context. The fix is to just do nothing in interrupt. WARNING: Please note that about half of the TCP sockets are allocated from the IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will not be accouted by the memcg.

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.
