So I have been seeing an issue with an intermittent boot hang on my
x86 KVM VM with the latest linux-next and have bisected it down to the
following commit:
1efa3bb79d3de8ca1b7f6770313a1fc0bebe25c7 is the first bad commit
commit 1efa3bb79d3de8ca1b7f6770313a1fc0bebe25c7

dm: must allocate dm_noclone for stacked noclone devices
Otherwise various lvm2 testsuite tests fail because the lower layers of
the stacked noclone device aren't updated to allocate a new 'struct
dm_clone' that reflects the upper layer bio that was issued to it.
Fixes: 97a89458020b38 ("dm: improve noclone bio support")

What I am seeing is in about 3 out of 4 boots the startup just hangs
at the filesystem check stage with the following message:
[ OK ] Reached target Local File Systems (Pre).
Starting File System Check on /dev/…127-ad57-426f-bb45-363950544c0c...
[ **] (1 of 2) A start job is running for…n on device 252:2 (19s / no limit)
I did some googling and it looks like a similar issue has been
reported for s390. Based on the request for data there I have the
following info:
[root@localhost ~]# dmsetup ls --tree
