There is now 4.9.58 (fifty three versions later!) and 4.12 series is long
abandoned and gone from the charts altogether. So just in case, did you check
with the latest kernels?

Also, keep in mind the 120 second warnings are just that, and not an error
condition by themselves. You can disable them or increase the maximum timeout
in sysctl settings. And it is not clear from your reports if you only get
warnings and after the load subsides everything is back to normal, or the FS
locks out "for good", i.e. with all access attempts hanging indefinitely and
no way to unmount the FS or otherwise recover.
