When running LTP oom01 [1] testing, the allocation process stopped
processing right after starting to swap.

I'm seeing the same stuff, but on -rc2.  I thought it was
transparent-hugepage-related, but I don't see much of a trace of it in
the stack dumps.

It happened to me as well around the time that things started to hit
swap.

Still not a very good data point, but I ran a heavy swap load for an
hour or so without reproducing this.  But, it happened again after I
enabled transparent huge pages.  I managed to get a sysrq-t dump out of
it:

khugepaged is one of the three running tasks.  Note, I set both its
sleep timeouts to zero to stress it out a bit.

I'll keep trying to reproduce without THP.
