I see something similar here. Processes just get stuck in
balance_dirty_pages for infinite time. It helps if, when process is
stuck another process generates some dirty pages. Unfotunately last
kernel I'm prety sure everything worked is 2.6.31-rc9-tip-01355-ge035e96
(yes its x86 -tip kernel). I'm building new kernel now.
