Well "not booting at all when using 'nohz_full=0'"[as reported two
times] and "I start neovim, send SIGSTOP (i.e. ^Z) to it, start another
neovim instance and upon sending SIGSTOP to that instance all of
userspace locks up - 100% reproducible."[while no 'nohz_full=0' in use]
at least on the first sight to and outsider sound a lot like different
problems to me -- but of course that impression might be wrong and you
know better about these things.
