Okay.. So the fs_reclaim debugging does catch errors. Do you have any
reference for what a false positive looks like? 

I would like to inject it into the notifier path as this is very
difficult for driver authors to discover and know about, but I'm
worried about your false positive remark.

I think I understand we can use only GFP_ATOMIC in the notifiers, but
we need a strategy to handle OOM to guarentee forward progress.

This is just more bugs to fix :(
