Interesting. I'm not aware of that problem. One of the systems that
hit this hang has been running with ext4 on an MD RAID-5 array with
every kernel since at least 5.1 and never had an issue until this
regression.

That's a good suggestion, so I switched it to use XFS. It can still
reproduce the hang. Sounds like this is probably a different problem
than the known ext4 one.
