This cannot happen because the memory reclaim backs off on locked pages. Have a look at trylock_page at the very beginning of the shrink_page_list loop. You are likely waiting on a different page which is not being flushed because of the FS ordering requirement or something like that. > That means the ->writepages should be set with GFP_NOFS to avoid this > recursive filesystem reclaim. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
