Hopefully it can help. One of the OOM causes could be that memory was restricted to a certain node set.

Not any task that may not have the restrictions and woiuld not experience OOM. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
