I have the same problem (kernel 5.1.7), but over here, it's a PHP
process, not khugepaged, which is looping inside compaction_alloc.

This is from "perf report":

(Repeating this sequence over and over.)

Nothing useful in /proc/263514/{stack,wchan,syscall}.

What else can I do to collect more information to aid fix this?
