The cgroup1_hierarchy test uses setup_classid_environment to setup cgroupv1 environment. The problem is that the environment is set in /sys/fs/cgroup and therefore, if not run under an own mount namespace, effectively deletes all system cgroups: $ ls /sys/fs/cgroup | wc -l 27 $ sudo ./test_progs -t cgroup1_hierarchy #41/1 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_cgroup1_hierarchy:OK #41/2 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_root_cgid:OK #41/3 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_level:OK #41/4 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgid:OK #41/5 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_hid:OK #41/6 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgrp_name:OK #41/7 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_invalid_cgrp_name2:OK #41/8 cgroup1_hierarchy/test_sleepable_prog:OK #41 cgroup1_hierarchy:OK Summary: 1/8 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED $ ls /sys/fs/cgroup | wc -l 1 To avoid this, run setup_cgroup_environment first which will create an own mount namespace. This only affects the cgroupv1_hierarchy test as all other cgroup1 test progs already run setup_cgroup_environment prior to running setup_classid_environment. Also add a comment to the header of setup_classid_environment to warn against this invalid usage in future.
