Subject: [PATCH] journald: correctly attribute log messages also with
36e8a3
 cgroupsv1
36e8a3
36e8a3
With cgroupsv1 a zombie process is migrated to root cgroup in all
36e8a3
hierarchies. This was changed for unified hierarchy and /proc/PID/cgroup
36e8a3
reports cgroup to which process belonged before it exited.
36e8a3
36e8a3
Be more suspicious about cgroup path reported by the kernel and use
36e8a3
unit_id provided by the log client if the kernel reports that process is
36e8a3
running in the root cgroup.
36e8a3
36e8a3
Users tend to care the most about 'log->unit_id' mapping so systemctl
36e8a3
status can correctly report last log lines. Also we wouldn't be able to
36e8a3
infer anything useful from "/" path anyway.
