No, i'm not testing with the same kernel but all are 3.2.x. I even cannot install older 3.2.x because grsecurity is always available for newest kernel and there is no archive of older versions (at least i don't know about any).

I'm trying to get it, stay tuned :)


Today i noticed one bug, not 100% sure it is related to 'your' patch but i didn't seen this before. I noticed that i have lots of cgroups which cannot be removed - if i do 'rmdir <cgroup_directory>', it just hangs and never complete. Even more, it's not possible to access the whole cgroup filesystem until i kill that rmdir (anything, which tries it, just hangs). All unremoveable cgroups has this in 'memory.oom_control':
oom_kill_disable 0
under_oom 1

And, yes, 'tasks' file is empty.
