Minor update - it's not only Azure's. AWS m5.8xlarge and m5.16xlarge (32

different amount of CPUs.


Test on QEMU machine with 31 CPUs passes. With 32 CPUs - failure as
reported.

dmesg is empty - no error around this.

Maybe something with per-cpu variables?

Ah yeah, so since you are further into this than I am, want to give my recent batch of fixes a try?

This might actually resolve the problems. If not I'm getting one of our 64cpu boxes setup to test this, I also couldn't reproduce it on my smaller local machines. Thanks,
