Are you using any swap? If so, check the swappiness setting

No swap. These are large RAM (400G to 1000G) Kubernetes nodes.
This is likely due to a kernel bug that was caused by the way cgroup slab management is handled. Upgrade to 5.10 or later, and it should be fixed. I’d be interested to see if the problem continues.
