After digging the changelog, I believe the following commit could fix
the problem:
commit f9c645621a28e37813a1de96d9cbd89cde94a1e4
Author: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp>
Date: Mon Sep 23 15:37:08 2019 -0700
memcg, oom: don't require __GFP_FS when invoking memcg OOM killer
which is not yet in our 4.19 branch yet. We will sync with 4.19 stable soon.
Thanks.
