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?
