We've seen this on the autobuilders too. I don't think this should be
from the pyinotify changes since the worker process is spawned
separately and shouldn't hold watches. Its more likely with the kernel
changes, we created more contention with the performance improvements
and pushed things "over the edge" to the point where configurations
which used to work, are now too contented.

Can we install monitoring on these systems and figure out which
resources are unavailable?

Cheers,
