+Writes permanently hang with very heavy I/O on virtio-scsi - worse on virtio-blk
+
+Up to date Arch Linux on host and guest.  linux 5.2.11.  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.  At this point, anything that is or does in the future write to this block device gets stuck in uninterruptible sleep.

+
+In guest, there are no other dmesg/journalctl entries other than "task...blocked".
+
+On host, there are no dmesg/journalctl entries whatsoever.  Everything else in host continues to work fine, including other QEMU VM's on the same underlying SSD (but obviously different lvm volumes.)
+
+I understand there might not be enough to go on here, and I also understand it's possible this isn't a QEMU bug.  Happy to run given commands or patches to help diagnose what's going on here.
+
+I'm now running a custom compiled QEMU 4.1.0, with debug symbols, so I can get a meaningful backtrace from the host point of view.
