A snippet of tracepoint output from the fs might also be interesting
when you hit this state. E.g., 'trace-cmd start -e xfs:*' and save the
output of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe to a file for a few
seconds or so.

BTW, is the original /proc/meminfo output you posted from the system in
a normal state or when the problem occurs? If the former, could you
include it while the problem occurs as well?
