    I do not know how 'bad' the situation is now that we have the dirty page
    tracking stuff, still need to create a test environment.

    But the general idea is that its broken because the ACK from writeout
    can be delayed and the remaining free memory taken by other incomming
    network packets.

    Until I have a test setup and some reproducable deadlocks I cannot say
    more I'm afraid.
