QEMU 4.1.0. Full command line at bottom. + +Host gives QEMU two thin LVM volumes. The first is the root filesystem, and the second is for heavy I/O, on a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB. + +When maxing out the I/O on the second virtual block device using virtio-blk, I often get a "lockup" in about an hour or two. From the advise of iggy in IRC, I switched over to virtio-scsi. It ran perfectly for a few days, but then "locked up" in the same way. + +By "lockup", I mean writes to the second virtual block device permanently hang. I can read files from it, but even "touch foo" never times out, cannot be "kill -9"'ed, and is stuck in uninterruptible sleep. + +When this happens, writes to the first virtual block device with the root filesystem are fine, so the O/S itself remains responsive. + +The second virtual block device uses BTRFS. But, I have also tried XFS and reproduced the issue. + +In guest, when this starts, it starts logging "task X blocked for more than Y seconds". Below is an example of one of these.
