[PATCH 1/2] selftests: cgroup: skip test_memcg_sock under cgroup.memory=nosocket
From: Konstantin Khorenko
Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 15:09:00 EST
With cgroup.memory=nosocket the memory controller does not charge
socket memory, so the "sock " entry of memory.stat stays 0 and
memory.current moves only by the kernel objects accept() allocates.
tcp_client() then passes on 0 == 0 without having checked any
accounting, or fails if those objects took a fresh charge batch.
Look for nosocket among the cgroup.memory= options on the kernel command
line and skip the test there.
