Early boot messages are missing - so exactly the BIOS memory map I was
asking for. As the NUMA has been excluded it is probably not that
relevant anymore.
The important question is why you see VM_FAULT_OOM and whether memcg
charging failure can trigger that. I don not see how this could happen
right now because __GFP_NORETRY is not used for user pages (except for
THP which disable memcg OOM already), file backed page faults (aka
__do_fault) use mem_cgroup_newpage_charge which doesn't disable OOM.
This is a real head scratcher.

Could you also post your complete containers configuration, maybe there
is something strange in there (basically grep . -r YOUR_CGROUP_MNT
except for tasks files which are of no use right now).
