All allocating tasks are looping at

                        /*
                         * If we didn't make any progress and have a lot of
                         * dirty + writeback pages then we should wait for
                         * an IO to complete to slow down the reclaim and
                         * prevent from pre mature OOM
                         */
                        if (!did_some_progress && 2*(writeback + dirty) > 
reclaimable) {
                                congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/10);
                                return true;
                        }

in should_reclaim_retry().

should_reclaim_retry() was added by OOM detection rework, wan't it?
