This bug is not about memory use. It's about the Linux kernel triggering the OOM killer when higher-order (order 2) allocations are requested and progress cannot be made. This affected Linux 4.7 on mainline and was fixed on Linux 4.7 stable and Linux 4.8. When some fixes were backported to 4.4.0-59 (4.4.0-58 was not affected), this bugs was introduced to Xenial kernels and is now fixed on 4.4.0-63. Any behavior on 4.8 kernels must be investigated separately, because all fixes that were backported to 4.4.0-63 are already present in 4.8.
Can you please open a new bug and attach all logs and details you can, so we can investigate your problem and provide a fix? Please, do not use this bug, because the fixes would be different anyway, and even thought the symptom may look like, we consider them different bugs. I appreciate you opening a new bug and providing this new report. Thanks.
