Assuming Sachin is the reporter and we are in the same company, maybe I
have access to the machine. Sachin, can you mail me privately what this
machine is called and lets see can I get some time on that machine? By
any chance, was this bisected or did it just show up when SLQB became
the default?
Mel,

Have sent you the access details for the machine. This bug showed
up when SLQB was enabled as default in linux-next

Thanks

Total aside, does anybody know handily if fake NUMA support allows the
creation of memoryless nodes help reproducing problems like this? If I can't
get a real machine, that'll be the approach I'll be trying.

Btw, the code is in slqb/core branch of slab.git in case someone wants
to take a stab at fixing the bug.
