GNU/Linux is a collaborative effort between the GNU project, formed in 1983 to develop the GNU operating system and the development team of Linux, a kernel. Initially Linux was intended to develop into an operating system of its own, but these plans were shelved somewhere along the way. Fedora will also be signing all kernel modules and, Garrett said, 'locking down certain aspects of kernel functionality.' ' Even if Puppy Linux were to acquire such license, I wonder whether our 'free for all' -experiment, woof-you-own, remaster, publish if you want- approach to Linux could survive?

Affected users, please update and report back.
The workaround disables memory and IO cgroups which appears to be the cause of the leaks.
Good news! Sure I will try in spare time. In the meantime I have a question.Affected users, please update and report back.

What are we missing with disabled memory and IO cgroups? I am not an expert on linux kernel but obviously it is on for some reason. Understanding this I can check not only that system does not crash in situations like before but also what else might be impacted. I did quick wikipedia on cgroups but I am not clear at all what I can expect with the system without it vs with it.
