submit_bio_wait() can be called from ioctl(BLKSECDISCARD), which may take long time to complete, as Salman mentioned, 4K BLKSECDISCARD takes up to 100 second on some devices. Also any block I/O operation that occurs after the BLKSECDISCARD is submitted will also potentially be affected by the hung task timeouts. Another report is that task hang can be observed when running mkfs over raid10 which takes a small max discard sectors limit because of chunk size. So prevent hung_check from firing by taking same approach used in blk_execute_rq(), and the wake-up interval is set as half the hung_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.
