It looks like it's the writeback patches, from a quick glance. Did it
get stuck, or did it still make progress? Thanks for testing, please let
me know if it triggers with just wb-v8. Can you send me your .config,
too? I'm assuming no special ext4 mount options, right? I used ext4 as
well for testing, using -o barrier=0 for most of the runs.
Irregardless, I'll try this test and poke a bit at it and find out what
the issue is.
