While running my "infamous" tests with containers[0] on 4.1, I get system freezes regularly. I have tried with and without PREEMPT_RT. The lockups did only occur on RT and when the cgroup "memory" was in use. Without rt or this particular cgroup (cgroup_disable kernel parameter), my test ran for ~15h before I stopped it manually. tldr; CONFIG_MEMCG seem to be broken for PREEMPT_RT. I don't know if the errors below are directly responsible for the system freeze, but they are the last thing I see from the system before it freezes. The second dump below might contain some typos because I had to convert it manually from a screenshot to text.
The memcg tests from LTP didn't cause any problems. And after about three hours trying to get lxc to work I gave up. So I have no idea how to continue here.
