I tried reproducing this on a 2-socket machine with Xeon
Gold Gold 5218R CPUs. It was necessary to set timeouts in both
vm/settings and kselftest/runner.sh to avoid timeouts. Testing with
a standard config on my original 5.19-rc3 baseline and the baseline
b13baccc3850ca8b8cccbf8ed9912dbaa0fdf7f3 both passed. I tried your kernel
config with i915 disabled (would not build) and necessary storage drivers
and network drivers enabled (for boot and access). The kernel log shows
a bunch of warnings related to USBAN during boot and during some of the
tests but otherwise compaction_test completed successfully as well as
the other VM tests.

Is this always reproducible?
