I'm not surprised. I'm seeing enough inconsistent crap to come to the
conclusion that stock scheduler knobs flat can't be used on a largish
box, they're just too preempt-happy, leading to weird crap.
My 2 missing nodes came back, and the very same kernel that highly
repeatably collapsed with 2 nodes does not with 4 nodes, and 2 nodes
does not collapse with only preemption knob tweaking, and that's
bullshit. Virgin shows instability in the mid-range, make a tiny tweak
that should have little if any effect there, and that instability
vanishes entirely. Test runs are not consistent enough boot to boot etc
etc. Either stock knobs suck on NUMA boxen, or this box is possessed.
