As I can see from trace, balance_dirty_pages is triggered very frequently even if there not enough pages that shall be sent to libfuse. I'm not sure if this is a known fact or the FUSE writeback feature requires some specific configurations. Trace log is attached.

Try

echo 20 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/0:`stat -c %d /mnt/fuse/`/max_ratio

where you replace /mnt/fuse with your mountpoint.

Thanks,
