Public bug reported:
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.
The simple reproducer
for i in {1..100}; do ssh localhost sudo systemctl daemon-reload & ssh
localhost sleep 1 & done
jobs -p | xargs --verbose --no-run-if-empty kill -KILL
systemctl status --all 2> /dev/null | grep --before-context 3 abandoned
will produce something similar to
│ ├─ 175 su - ubuntu
│ ├─ 178 -su
│ ├─62375 systemctl status --all
│ └─62376 grep --color=auto --before-context 3 abandoned
