After reading all codes again, I feel some strange. Could you clarify ?

Here.

+void sock_update_memcg(struct sock *sk)
+{
+	/* right now a socket spends its whole life in the same cgroup */
+	if (sk->sk_cgrp) {
+		WARN_ON(1);

==

sk->sk_cgrp is set to a memcg without any reference count.

Then, no check for preventing rmdir() and freeing memcgroup.

Is there some css_get() or mem_cgroup_get() somewhere ?

Thanks,
