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 late association of the unassociated sockets at accept() time in the process context and then force charge the memory buffer already reserved by the socket.
