Thank you for the report Zhouping!
Would you be so kind to test the following patch and report results?
Apply the patch to the latest mainline.
Hello Zlatko,
I have tested the below patch(applied it on mainline directly),
but IMO, I'd like to say it maybe don't fix the issue completely.
run the reproducer[1] on two machine, one machine has 2 numa nodes(8Gb RAM),
another one has 4 numa nodes(8Gb RAM), then the system hung all the time, such as the dmesg log:

I'm not sure whether it's your patch triggering the hung task or not, but reverted cda73a10eb3,
the reproducer(oom01) can PASS without both 'NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000500' and hung task issues.
but some time, it's possible that the reproducer(oom01) cause hung task on a box with large RAM(100Gb+), so I can't judge it...
sorry, I forgot to link the reproducer.
oom01 in LTP test suite:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/mem/oom/oom01.c
from my site, it can 100% reproduce the bug using oom01 test case.
Thanks,
