Unfortunately I do not know how to reproduce the issue, but it is being
reproduced byt our production load - which is creating backups in this
case. They are created by rsyncing files to a loop-back attached files
wihch are then unmounted and unmapped.From this crash it is evident that
the hang occurs while a volume is being unmounted.

But the callstack is in my hang report, no? I have the crashdump with me
so if you are interested in anything in particular I can go look for it.
I believe an inode eviction was requested, since destroy_inode, which
utilizes ext4_i_callback is called in the eviction + some errors paths.
And this eviction is executed on this particular CPU. What in particular
are you looking for?

Unfortunately it's impossible for me to run:

trace-cmd record -p function_graph -F <command that causes the issue>
