Sending new info!

I found out one interesting thing. When problem occurs (it probably happen when OOM is started in target cgroup but i'm not sure), the target cgroup, somehow, becames broken. In other words, after the problem occurs once in target cgroup, it is happening always in this cgroup. I made this test:

1.) I create cgroup A with limits (also with memory limit).
2.) Waited when OOM is started (can takes hours). Processes in target cgroup becames freezed so they must be killed.
3.) After this, processes are always freezing in cgroup A, it usually takes 20-30 seconds after killing previously freezed processes.
4.) I created cgroup B with the *same* limits as cgroup A and moved user from A to B. Problem disappears.
5.) Go to (2)

And second thing, i got've kernel oops, look at the end of:
