[systemd-devel] cgroup messages on service stop

[Orion Poplawski]

I'm seeing the following on an EL9.6 system when stopping the bdsec-daemon
service:

Jun 03 12:41:12 systemd[427214]: bdsec-daemon.service: Failed to attach
process to cgroup /system.slice/bdsec-daemon.service/.control because the
cgroup or one of its parents or siblings is in the threaded mode: Structure
needs cleaning
Jun 03 12:41:12 systemd[427214]: bdsec-daemon.service: Failed at step CGROUP
spawning /opt/bitdefender-security-tools/bin/bdsecd: Structure needs cleaning
Jun 03 12:41:12 systemd[1]: bdsec-daemon.service: Control process exited,
code=exited, status=219/CGROUP
Jun 03 12:41:12 systemd[1]: bdsec-daemon.service: Failed to kill control group
/system.slice/bdsec-daemon.service, ignoring: Operation not supported
Jun 03 12:41:33 systemd[1]: bdsec-daemon.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jun 03 12:41:33 systemd[1]: bdsec-daemon.service: Consumed 1d 17h 31min 3.836s
CPU time.

Can anyone clue me into what this means exactly?
