Some additional information:

- this hang situation happens very rarely, I'd say maybe every 10TBytes of data
written (at 1Gbit/sec).
- there are maximum of 32 threads doing io.
- each io operation is at most 0.5MB of data (written or read) per syscall with
an exception of fallocate, which can be rarely large, ie. 60GB.
- this situation happens on both empty volumes (where fallocate can find
continuous blocks to do any requested fallocate) and, what seems more often,
when disk is close to being full.
- the volume is LSI RAID6 with 500MB cache and 24x 2TB hard drives
- i'm able to do several hundred of ios per second normally, the hang seems to
be caused by the kernel itself and not hardware
- during the hang i can access and write to the volume from other
processes/threads.
