I already reported on that: always happens with bfq within an hour or
less. Doesn't happen with mq-deadline for ~25+ hours. Does happen
with bfq with the above patches removed. Does happen with
cgroup.disabled=io set.

Sounds to me like it's something bfq depends on and is somehow
becoming perturbed in a way that mq-deadline does not, and has
changed between 5.11 and 5.12. I have no idea what's under bfq that
matches this description.

Chris, just a shot in the dark but can you try the patch from

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20220803121504.212071-1-yukuai1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

on top of something more recent than 5.12? Ideally 5.19 where it applies
cleanly.

No guarantees, I just remembered this patch and your problem sounds like
a lost wakeup. Maybe BFQ just drives the sbitmap in a way that triggers the
symptom.
