Could you describe a bit more with regards to pinning maps and how this
should interact with cgroups? The two specialized array maps we have (tail
calls, perf events) have fairly complicated semantics for when to clean up
map slots (see commits c9da161c6517ba1, 3b1efb196eee45b2f0c4).

How is this managed with cgroups? Once a cgroup fd is placed into a map and
the user removes the cgroup, will this be prevented due to 'being busy', or
will the cgroup live further as long as a program is running with a cgroup
map entry (but the cgroup itself is not visible from user space in any way
anymore)?

I presume it's a valid use case to pin a cgroup map, put fds into it and
remove the pinned file expecting to continue to match on it, right? So
lifetime is really until last prog using a cgroup map somewhere gets removed
(even if not accessible from user space anymore, meaning no prog has fd and
pinned file was removed).

I assume that using struct file here doesn't make sense (commit e03e7ee34fdd1c3)
either, right?

Yeah, as long as this respects freeing after RCU grace period, it's fine
like this ...
