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.

  I've found the following "potential" fix that doesn't seem to have
  every made it through: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/7/611

  In addition, I have a 12GB dump file generated by linux-crashdump,
  please let me know if there's anything I can do with it which can help
  troubleshoot this issue.
