I tested on an Azure L80s_v2 VM with newer Samsung P983 NVMe SSD (with 32 hardware queues). Tests also showed soft lockup when 32 queues are shared by 80 CPUs.
The issue will likely show up if the number of NVMe hardware queues is less than the number of CPUs. I think this may be a likely configuration on a very large system. (e.g. the largest VM on Azure has 416 cores)
