@hedrick: Regarding that workaround you mentioned above, I would guess
it only suppresses the error message but doesn't fix the problem with
broken cgroup confinement. Is that correct?

I've done more testing and have identified the following commit:
 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/2516deeb872ab9dda3bf4c66cf24b1ee900f25bf

Reverting that one (and the follow-up
683d2969a0820072ddc05dbcc667664f7a34ac90) makes things work again as far
as I can tell. I haven't tested that on the Ubuntu source yet, so far
only on upstream 5.15.127.

The only thing I can imagine regarding why this works with newer kernels
is that this is an incomplete backport.

Title:
  cgroup2 broken since 5.15.0-90-generic?

Status in linux-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We're using Slurm workload manager in a cluster with Ubuntu 22.04 and
  the linux-generic kernel (amd64). We  use cgroups (cgroup2) for
  resource allocation with Slurm. With kernel version

  linux-image-5.15.0-91-generic         5.15.0-91.101
  amd64

  I'm seeing a new issue. This must have been introduced recently, I can
  confirm that with kernel 5.15.0-88-generic the issue does not exist.
  When I request a single GPU on a node with kernel 5.15.0-88-generic
  all is well:

  $ srun -G 1 -w gpu59 nvidia-smi -L
  GPU 0: NVIDIA [...]

  Instead with kernel 5.15.0-91-generic:

  $ srun -G 1 -w gpu59 nvidia-smi -L
  slurmstepd: error: load_ebpf_prog: BPF load error (No space left on device). 
Please check your system limits (MEMLOCK).
  GPU 0: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 1: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 2: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 3: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 4: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 5: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 6: NVIDIA [...]
  GPU 7: NVIDIA [...]

  So I get this error regarding MEMLOCK limit and see all GPUs in the
  system instead of only the one requested. Hence I assume the problem
  is related to cgroups.

  $ cat /proc/version_signature
  Ubuntu 5.15.0-91.101-generic 5.15.131
