Add a self-contained test for the CGROUPSTATS_CMD_GET genl command that
covers three cases:

- querying a cgroup v1 hierarchy and verifying the response
  contains non-zero task counts
- rejecting an invalid fd without NLM_F_ACK
- rejecting an invalid fd with NLM_F_ACK

selftests/acct: add taskstats TGID retention test 2026-05-29T04:24:41+00:00 Yiyang Chen cyyzero16@gmail.com 2026-04-13T15:45:45+00:00 20e4b31f8e837d923eee91cd5458f823a11cca9a Add a kselftest for the taskstats TGID aggregation fix. The test creates a worker thread, snapshots TGID taskstats while the worker is still alive, lets the worker exit, and then verifies that the TGID CPU total does not regress after the thread has been reaped. The pass/fail check intentionally keys off ac_utime + ac_stime only, which is the primary user-visible regression fixed by the taskstats change and is less sensitive to scheduling noise than context-switch counters.
