On allocating a request, we apply some backpressure if we fail to allocate a request. The backpressure we apply involves waiting for the device to idle, causing a stall on the clients (trying to throttle heavy allocators) and as we may be inside a plugged critical section, the only way to idle the GPU is by waiting for hangcheck to kick in. Try to avoid the allocation failure by trimming the VM caches between iterations.
