lru_gen_shrink_node() unconditionally clears kswapd_failures, which can
prevent kswapd from sleeping and cause 100% kswapd cpu usage even when
kswapd repeatedly fails to make progress in reclaim.
Only clear kswap_failures in lru_gen_shrink_node() if reclaim makes some
progress, similar to shrink_node().
I happened to run into this problem in one of my tests recently. It
requires a combination of several conditions: The allocator needs to
allocate a right amount of pages such that it can wake up kswapd
without itself being OOM killed; there is no memory for kswapd to
reclaim (My test disables swap and cleans page cache first); no other
process frees enough memory at the same time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
