dd hangs when reading large partitions

Hello,

I'm running into an issue which I don't know how to debug.
So I'm open to ideas and suggestions :-)

On my arm64 board, I have enabled Universal Flash Storage support.

I wanted to benchmark read performance, and noticed that the system
locks up when I read partitions larger than 3.5 GB, unless I tell
dd to use direct IO:

*** WITH O_DIRECT ***
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M iflag=direct status=progress
57892929536 bytes (58 GB, 54 GiB) copied, 697.006 s, 83.1 MB/s

55256+0 records out

*** WITHOUT O_DIRECT ***
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress
3853516800 bytes (3.9 GB, 3.6 GiB) copied, 49.0002 s, 78.6 MB/s

The system always hangs around the 3.6 GiB mark, wherever I start from.
How can I debug this issue?

Regards.
