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=3D524288000 #500MB You may need to increase it further.
