Would it be enough to simply reset no_progress_loops
in this check inside should_reclaim_retry, if we know
pageout IO is pending?

                        if (!did_some_progress) {
                                unsigned long write_pending;

                                write_pending =
zone_page_state_snapshot(zone,
                                                        NR_ZONE_WRITE_P
ENDING);

                                if (2 * write_pending > reclaimable) {
                                        congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC,
HZ/10);
                                        return true;
                                }
                        }
