I overlooked that too_many_isolated() in mm/vmscan.c already has
if (current_is_kswapd())
return 0;
lines. Therefore, it turned out that my patch is irrelevant to XFS issue.
Does patch shown below make sense?
Regards.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan: Do not throttle when hibernation_mode != 0.
In shrink_inactive_list(), we do not insert delay at
if (!sc->hibernation_mode && !current_is_kswapd())
wait_iff_congested(zone, BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/10);
if sc->hibernation_mode != 0.
Follow the same reason, we should not insert delay at
while (unlikely(too_many_isolated(zone, file, sc))) {
congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/10);
/* We are about to die and free our memory. Return now. */
if (fatal_signal_pending(current))
return SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX;
}
if sc->hibernation_mode != 0.
