Hi Linus,

can you share your "normal config", please?

This what latest Debian kernel from unstable has (discussed Kconfigs):

# egrep 'NR_CPUS|CPUMASK_OFFSTACK|MAXSMP' /boot/config-6.1.0-5-amd64
397:CONFIG_MAXSMP=y
398:CONFIG_NR_CPUS_RANGE_BEGIN=8192
399:CONFIG_NR_CPUS_RANGE_END=8192
400:CONFIG_NR_CPUS_DEFAULT=8192
401:CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8192
10214:CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
10215:# CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS is not set

What are "sane" settings in your eyes?

Full Debian kernel-config for AMD64 is attached.

Thanks.

Best regards,
