[Fix] The commit in v6.11-rc1 introduce the issue. 4e63aeb5d010 blk-wbt: don't throttle swap writes in direct reclaim And we are seeking for help from the patch owner and other developers on the mailing list https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/3/20/90 Currently, we have to revert this commit, because this issue happens on many platforms. [Test] Run the following command on the machine with kernel version greater or equal to v6.11 sudo stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout 300 --mmapmany 0 It should finish the test in 5mins. [Where problems could occur] From the commit message reverts this commit may trigger a hang "When a process holds a lock to allocate a free page, and enters direct reclaim because there is no free memory, then it might trigger a hung due to the wbt throttling that causes other processes to fail to get the lock."
