Hello Johannes,
If a request queue got stuck then the processes that submitted the requests
on that queue are unkillable. The only approach I know of to stop these
processes is to send a kill signal and next to trigger a queue run from user
space. One possible approach is to run the following command:
for d in /sys/kernel/debug/block/*; do echo kick >$d/state; done
