Commit fa06235b8e ("cgroup: reset css on destruction") caused
css_reset callback to be called from the offlining path. Although it
solves the problem mentioned in the commit description ("For instance,
memory cgroup needs to reset memory.low, otherwise pages charged to a
dead cgroup might never get reclaimed."), generally speaking, it's not
correct.
An offline cgroup can still be a resource domain, and we shouldn't grant
it more resources than it had before deletion.
For instance, if an offline memory cgroup has dirty pages, we should
still imply i/o limits during writeback.
The css_reset callback is designed to return the cgroup state into the
original state, that means reset all limits and counters. It's
spomething different from the offlining, and we shouldn't use it from
the offlining path. Instead, we should adjust necessary settings from
the per-controller css_offline callbacks (e.g. reset memory.low).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
