On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.
