Sorry to bring this up again: how should to root cgroup behave? If the ultimate goal to have only one single hierarchy then I would assume it is important that the semantic for all controllers are the same. As you pointed out the networking controllers are kind of a strange beast in the zoo of the cgroup controllers. But still I would assume that all root controllers behave the same. memcg or cpu* are not expected to do any work in the root cgroup.
I think the implemented behavior is fine. memcg or cpu* don't do anything on root cgroup as it doesn't make much (or any) sense. For net_prio and cls, I don't see any reason to treat root cgroup differently and how that would cause conflict when mounted together with other controllers. So, yeah, things seem okay to me.
