Hello all, After upgrading to kernel version v4.17, I see hangs one out of every 200 boots or so. I then see the following hung tasks: INFO: task kblockd:30 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

It appears like multiple tasks are trying to claim the host but whatever task is responsible for releasing it isn't getting triggered. If I dump the blocked tasks, I don't see any other mmc-related tasks other than the two above. Has anyone run into this issue before? If not, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing the problem? Thanks, Zak Hays
