Yes, all the disks are classic spinning CMR disks. But, out of all file systems
tried, only XFS is doing this on the test machine. I can trigger this behavior
every time. And kernels from 5.10 and bellow still work, even with my
non-standard .config.

Here is the memory situation when it is stuck:

ftp-back ~ # free
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  
available
Mem:         3995528      175872       69240         416     3750416    
3763584
Swap:        2097084           0     2097084

I will try to put together another test machine on Monday, without using any of
the components from this one, just to rule out a hardware bug.

This may not be a XFS bug, but so far only XFS seems to suffer from it.
