Re: [BUG stable, 2.6.32.27] sched: delayed cleanup of user_struct

is it a workaround to disable CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CONFIG_USER_SCHED, not CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED.
correct but CONFIG_USER_SCHED depends on CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED and as we don't use CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED at all my idea was to completely remove this feature.

I think that disabling it should obviously help. But it is
possible that there is something else. Given that you can
reproduce the crash, it would be nice if you can test this
and report ;)
Main problem - right i can't reproduce it. But the system was crashing two times more in the past.

You can find the logs here:

Or. You can revert

sched: delayed cleanup of user_struct
Not sure if it is a good idea to introduce another race again.
