Did the OOM killer go off in this group?

Was there a warning in the syslog ("Fixing unhandled memcg OOM
context")?

If it happens again, could you check if there are tasks left in the
cgroup?  And provide /proc/<pid>/stack of the hung task trying to
delete the cgroup?

Which debug output?

Do you still have access to the syslog?

It's possible that, as your system does not deadlock on the OOMing
cgroup anymore, you hit a separate bug...

Thanks!
