I examined this hang up using additional debug printk() patch. And it was
observed that when this silent hang up occurs, zone_reclaimable() called from
shrink_zones() called from a __GFP_FS memory allocation request is returning
true forever. Since the __GFP_FS memory allocation request can never call
out_of_memory() due to did_some_progree > 0, the system will silently hang up
with 100% CPU usage.

What is strange, the values printed by this debug printk() patch did not
change as time went by. Thus, I think that this is not a problem of lack of
CPU time for scanning pages. I suspect that there is a bug that nobody is
scanning pages.
