Isn't information Mike asked something like output from below command

  for i in `find /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ -type f`; do echo ========== $i ==========; cat $i | xargs echo; done

and check which cgroups stalling tasks belong to? Also, Mike suggested to
reproduce your problem with cgroup_disable=memory kernel command line option
in order to bisect whether memory cgroups are related to your problem.

I don't know whether Michal already knows specific information to collect.
I think memory allocation watchdog might give us some clue. It will give us
output like http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/serial-20170321.txt.xz .

Can you afford building kernels with watchdog patch applied? Steps I tried for
building kernels are shown below. (If you can't afford building but can afford
trying binary rpms, I can upload them.)
