If there are any anonymous pages swapped out and removed from RAM, the
systems will need to retrieve it from the space.
If that doesn't work, all affected applications cannot continue
running, it might also result in a system crash.

You had luck that your system is still running.

Dunno if it is reasonably possible to get out of that situation without
rebooting or even hard resetting, depending on the type of lost data.
