Hm, free memory is enough lots.

You are using 32 bit system.

low memory is empty!

tmpfs files are using about 1.5GB memory.
(because tmpfs is limited totalmem/2 by default)

anon/file reclaim scanning ratio is NOT strange.

Seems typical one drive system. no strange.

Almostly same with my test program ;)

My code doesn't makes hang!


Hmm... Hmm...
To be honest, I have no idea why your hang was happen.

1) zone normal is not used. your system don't need additional reclaim
   at all.
2) reclaim logic seems to doesn't makes hang.


Can you please try following additional test?

# echo 8 > /proc/sysrq-trigger
# echo disk > /sys/power/state
