A soft lockup bug in kcompactd was reported in a private bugzilla with
the following visible in dmesg;
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 26s! [kcompactd0:479]
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 52s! [kcompactd0:479]
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 78s! [kcompactd0:479]
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#33 stuck for 104s! [kcompactd0:479]
The machine had 256G of RAM with no swap and an earlier failed
allocation indicated that node 0 where kcompactd was run was potentially
unreclaimable;

Vlastimil Babka investigated a crash dump and found that a task
migrating pages was trying to drain PCP lists;
PID: 52922 TASK: ffff969f820e5000 CPU: 19 COMMAND: "kworker/u128:3"
Call Trace:

This failure is specific to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. The root of the
problem is that kcompact0 is not rescheduling on a CPU while a task that
has isolated a large number of the pages from the LRU is waiting on
kcompact0 to reschedule so the pages can be released. While
shrink_inactive_list() only loops once around too_many_isolated, reclaim
can continue without rescheduling if sc->skipped_deactivate == 1 which
could happen if there was no file LRU and the inactive anon list was not
low.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
