Wow, that topology is horrid.  I'm not surprised that your box is
writhing in agony.  Can you twiddle that?


twiddle that how?

The system has 4 physical cpus (sockets). Each cpu has 32 cores with 8 threads per core and each cpu has 4 memory controllers.

If I disable SCHED_MC and CGROUPS_SCHED (group scheduling) there is a noticeable improvement -- watchdog does not trigger and I do not get the rq locks held for 2-3 seconds. But there is still fairly high cpu usage for an idle system. Perhaps I should leave SCHED_MC on and disable SCHED_SMT; I'll try that today.

Thanks,
David
