It shouldn't be impossible: as long as we are protected against
recursive invocations of balance_dirty (which should be easy to
arrange) we should be safe enough, at least if the memory reservation
bits of the VM/fs interaction are working so that the balance_dirty
can guarantee to run to completion.
