I have seen something like this. I am running NFS inside a container,
using legacy cgroup. When it got stuck it claimed I cannot login
into the container due to out of memory. When it happens again, I
can send you the exact error message. The next hung nfsd is overdue,
anyway.

I have enabled it on my NFS server (echo 1 >/proc/.../hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace).
