I hit an unable to invoke the OOM killer lockup shown below. According to "cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0" part, it seems that drain_local_pages_wq work stuck despite it is on WQ_MEM_RECLAIM mm_percpu_wq workqueue. mm_percpu_wq = alloc_workqueue("mm_percpu_wq", WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, 0); Complete log is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/serial-20170629.txt.xz . ---------- [ 423.393025] BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 75s!
