SubjectRe: nfs unhappiness with memory pressure

Running the test with /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory = 2, I get a similar
result. It still hangs after about 5.9GB, but it starts trying to write
out the file sooner.
Here is the stack trace I have for the process (again, by hand, what didn't scroll by as nothing
makes it to logs...)

writetest:
schedule_timeout
io_schedule_timeout
blk_congestion_wait
throttle_vm_writeout
shrink_zone
shrink_caches
try_to_free_pages
__alloc_pages
-> (up to here it matches the previous run's stack from rpciod/0)
kmem_getpages
cache_grow
cache_alloc_refill
kmem_cache_alloc
mempool_alloc_slab
mempool_alloc
nfs_flush_one
nfs_flush_list
nfs_flush_inode
nfs_write_pages
do_writepages
__filemap_fdatawrite_range
filemap_fdatawrite
filemap_write_and_wait
nfs_revalidate_mapping
nfs_file_write
do_sync_write
vfs_write
sys_pwrite64

The memory dump showed there was memory still available, with no swap in use.
