Bug Description
The fix for upstart bug 1357252 has highlighted the fact that systemd-shim does not support functionality required by logind, namely:
- abandoncgroup (delete if possible)
- stopsession(kill all tasks and remove cgroup)
Because of this, systemd-shim sets the remove-on-empty bit on all cgroups that are created under the users logind session. As a result, when an upstart user job running under the upstart session init asks cgmanager to create a cgroup, that cgroup is created and inherits the remove-on-empty bit set by systemd-shim.
This can result in failed upstart jobs since when a subsequent job process (a secondary process that runs as part of a single overall upstart job) is started by upstart, it may fail to move the pid into the already-created cgroup since cgmanager may have (just) deleted it.
