      Boris Zhmurov has reported RCU stalls during the kswapd reclaim:

      a closer code inspection has shown that we might indeed miss all the
      scheduling points in the reclaim path if no pages can be isolated from
      the LRU list.  This is a pathological case but other reports from Donald
      Buczek have shown that we might indeed hit such a path:

      this is minute long snapshot which didn't take a single page from the
      LRU.  It is not entirely clear why only 1303 pages have been scanned
      during that time (maybe there was a heavy IRQ activity interfering).
      
      In any case it looks like we can really hit long periods without
      scheduling on non preemptive kernels so an explicit cond_resched() in
      shrink_node_memcg which is independent on the reclaim operation is due.
