Hi Sasha,

Thank you for running it again, the new trace is cleaner, as we do not get
nested panics within dump_page.

Perhaps a NUMA is required to reproduce this issue. I have tried,
unsuccessfully, on D4S_V3. This is the largest VM allowed with free trial,
as 4 CPU is the limit. D64S_V3 is with 64 CPUs and over $2K a month! :)

Let me study your trace, perhaps I will able to figure out the issue
without reproducing it.

Thank you,
Pasha
