Odd I did not think trylock could trigger that. Looking at your code it
indeed seems two trylocks. I am pretty sure we use the same trylock
trick to avoid it. I am confused..
Otherwise if you can afford to sleep you can of course throttle
organically via direct reclaim. Unless I am forgetting some key gotcha -
it's been a while I've been active in this area.
