Yes, the memory full of page cache is not unusual. The large portion of
that memory being dirty/writeback can be a problem. That is why we have
a dirty memory throttling which slows down (throttles) writers to keep
the amount reasonable. What is your dirty throttling setup?
$ grep . /proc/sys/vm/dirty*
and what is your storage setup?
