Ok, i got it! Problem occurs two times and it behaves differently each time, I was running kernel with that latest patch.

1.) It doesn't have impact on the whole server, only on one cgroup. Here are stacks:

2.) It almost takes down the server because of huge I/O on HDDs. Unfortunately, i had a bug in my script which was suppose to gather stacks (i wasn't able to do it by hand like in (1), server was almost unoperable). But I was lucky and somehow killed processes from problematic cgroup (via htop) and server was ok again EXCEPT one important thing - processes from that cgroup were still running in D state and i wasn't able to kill them for good. They were taking web server network ports so i had to reboot the server :( BUT, before that, i gathered stacks:

What do you think?
