Kernel crashes when updating cgroups cfs_{period,quota} of qemu-kvm process group

Kernel crashes when updating cgroups cfs_{period,quota} of qemu-kvm process group

[Mike Rapoport]

Hi all,

I'm running CentOS 7 with kernel 3.10.0-123.8.1.el7.x86_64 on a machine with 12 Xeon cores with 128G RAM.

When running in parallel a loop that starts/stops several VMs using virsh and
another loop that modifies cfs_period_us and cfs_quota_us of the machine cgroup,
a kernel crash happens:
