We have had some success preventing this behaviour by adjusting a kernel tunable. If those who are able to reproduce this could try increasing the sysctl 'vm.min_free_kbytes' and see how that affects their tests. We have been running with this value approximatly 10x its default value for our testing though this is likely an excessive bump.

    # sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes
    vm.min_free_kbytes = 8080
    # sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes=80800

Please report any testing back here on this bug. Thanks.
