Chris,

There's been a few other proposed patches, but my biggest issue now is
trying to replicate it over here before trying to look at patches, or
else there's no way for me to say "this works".

I'm working on something to try and replicate it today and I'll keep
this bug updated.. I hope it goes through well.

Thanks
Mohammed

Title:
  KVM and CFS bandwidth control causes kernel crashes (oops)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We've seen this crash at least 3 times when we start setting CPU
  limits using `cgroups`.  It makes using CPU limits impossible, causing
  instabilities in the operating system.  Finally, after installing
  linux-crashdump, we got a full copy of the crash message.
