Are you also getting any warnings or BUG reports before this.  In your
other dmesg, it should a bug being reported. This could cause problems
later on.

That said, this is starting to look like a NUMA problem. So I would like
to know where that lock is being taken exactly.

Yeah, I would say that.  I'm sure it's also doing a NUMA alloc in there
too.

??

Are you sure that vmlinux is the one created with the given config file?
There's been times when I added some configs and either forgot to
compile, or the compile failed, and I didn't notice, so the old binary
was being used.
