After additional hint from Thomas Osterried I can confirm that the problem I have been dealing with for half of a year comes from continuous dirty pages increas:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=13864&action=view (in 1 KB units)

So, after two days of uptime I have ~140MB of dirty pages and that explains why my system crashes every 2-3 weeks.

Best regards,
