We could also save the error from the function and propagate it up. |

is a panic on a permissions error on that path really the correct response for all callers? returning a bool, error and letting the caller decide if it should be a fatal error would have been what I expected. |
Yes, that's what I posed in my comment above to the other maintainers. This particular function is a relative easy fix with 2 callers. We also have the existing Our options are:
|
| // If using cgroups-hybrid mode then add a "" controller indicating | ||
| // it should join the cgroups v2. | ||
| if cgroups.IsCgroup2HybridMode() { | ||
| subsystems = append(subsystems, &NameGroup{GroupName: "", Join: true}) |

This is mutating a package var in a constructor. Can that race with other readers of subsystems? If the constructor is called multiple times, this will append multiple times, right?

Ugh, yeah, from a quick look, we could move the subsystems under the manager instance.

Pushed a commit to test that out (will check later).

It does not make sense to have a per-manager subsystem list.
Instead, I think, we should keep subsystems global, and wrap their initialization into once.Do.

I took a look at it seems it's better to just avoid panicking in |

Closing in favor of #3433 |

Yeah that’s what I was debating, too. I think your getting rid of the panic is probably best for now.
