This problem appears very similar to the one we reported sometime back at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/d2841226-e27b-4d3d-a578-63587a3aa4f3@amd.com/
where ~150 million folios were being skipped to isolate a few ZONE_DMA
folios.

I am not sure if the above would help in all scenarios as limiting the
skipped folios list to 1 million entries couldn't fix the soft/hard
lockup issue.
In fact what helped was the fix by Yu Zhao which released the lruvec
lock. This was posted for consideration at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZsTOwBffg5xSCUbP@gmail.com/T/
However this posting eventually resulted in the revert of
5da226dbfce3a2. Also some concerns about hoarding large number of folios
in skipped list and effect (on compaction) of releasing of lruvec
spinlock without clearing LRU flag were raised by Johannes.
