Public bug reported: I found that "by accident" while verifying another fix for numad. It seems (at least on a power 9 box) that if you have a huge kvm guest running and restart numad that it crashes.
The crash seems related to some re-init of a static structure: stack trace --- #0 tcache_get (tc_idx=<optimized out>) at malloc.c:2950 e = 0x9a5ddc1950 e = <optimized out> __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "tcache_get" #1 __GI___libc_malloc (bytes=16) at malloc.c:3058 ar_ptr = <optimized out> victim = <optimized out> hook = <optimized out> tbytes = <optimized out> tc_idx = <optimized out> __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ = "__libc_malloc" #2 0x0000009a300279a0 in ??
