 handle_mm_fault+0xc4/0x1f0 This is because thousands of processes are in the OOM cgroup, it takes a long
 time to traverse all of them. As a result, this lead to soft lockup in the OOM process. To fix this issue,
 call 'cond_resched' in the 'mem_cgroup_scan_tasks' function per 1000 iterations. For global OOM, call
 'touch_softlockup_watchdog' per 1000 iterations to avoid this issue. (CVE-2024-57977)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.133-1 or later.
