Large NUMA systems might have significant portions of system memory to be trapped in pcp queues. The number of pcp is determined by the number of processors and nodes in a system. A system with 4 processors and 2 nodes has 8 pcps which is okay. But a system with 1024 processors and 512 nodes has 512k pcps with a high potential for large amount of memory being caught in them. Enable remote node draining for the CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL case, where vmstat_shepherd will perform the aging and draining via cpu_vm_stats_fold.
