Your kernel ran out of memory.  Either you are using a workload that
is too heavy for your current settings, or there is a memory leak
somewhere in a kernel subsystem you are using.

Try to increase VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX in your kernel, e.g.

options         VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX=524288000      #500MB

You may need to increase it further.
