Ah you are running an older kernel that didn't show all the vmstat
numbers. But still it's revealing that node 0 is used heavily and node
1 is almost idle. So I won't be surprised to see most free pages lie
in node 1.

It's mostly doing poll() waits. There must be some dependency on
something other to make progress. Would you post the full ps output
for all tasks, and even better, run

        echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger

To dump the kernel stacks?

Thanks,
Fengguang
