Yes, I suspect so; and I had a look at the vmcore, the task in the OOM
report is no longer present. Therefore, I suspect the task namely "node"
(i.e. PID 1703345) was OOM killed i.e. a SIGKILL was sent and was granted
access to memory reserves and selected/or choosen by the OOM reaper for
termination; the victim then raised a page fault that triggered yet
another "charge" in the memcg that exceeded the memory limit set on the
container; and since no other task in the memcg had a suitable OOM score
and the allocating task/or victim was "unkillable" i.e. already selected
for termination by the OOM reaper, we got the message: "Out of memory and
no killable processes...".
