Created a ramdisk and put stress bin there, then run stress -m 200, now
seems it's stuck in libc-2.28.so migrating. And it's still xfs. So now xfs
is a big suspect. At bottom I paste numactl printing, you can see that it's
the last 4G.

Seems it's trying to migrate libc-2.28.so, but stress program keeps trying to
access and activate it.
