[test case] on a system where the user has a ssh key that allows noninteractive login to localhost, and also has noninteractive sudo, run: $ for i in {1..100}; do sudo -b -i -u ubuntu ssh localhost -- sleep 1; done; for i in {1..20}; do echo 'Reloading...'; sudo systemctl daemon-reload; done check the sessions to see there have been leaked sessions: $ loginctl list-sessions SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY 1 1000 ubuntu ttyS0 350 1000 ubuntu 351 1000 ubuntu 360 1000 ubuntu ... to verify the sessions were leaked, clear them out with: $ echo '' | sudo tee /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-*.scope/cgroup.events that should result in all the leaked sessions being cleaned up. [regression potential] issues during systemd pid1 reexec/reload, or issues while cleaning up sessions, including leaking sessions/cgroups [scope] this is needed for all releases upstream bug linked above, and upstream PR: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20199 [original description] On a system that is monitored via telegraf I found many abandoned systemd session which I believe are created by a potential race where systemd is reloading unit files and at the same time a user is connecting to the system via ssh or is executing the su command.
