I think I have some leads, and, just like you said, this deos not appear
to be ext4 related.
A likely root cause for the lockups I'm observing, is that kswapd
and virtio_balloon have reverse locking order for THP pages:
down_write(mapping->i_mmap_rwsem) --> page->PG_locked
vs
page->PG_locked --> down_read(mapping->i_mmap_rwsem)
