I get the following splats with a kvm guest in idle, after a few seconds it starts: [ 242.412806] INFO: task kworker/6:2:271 blockedfor more than 120 seconds. [ 242.415790] Tainted: G E 5.15.0-next-20211111 #68 [ 242.417755] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The last one says it blocked for more than 1208 seconds. This was not happening until the last few weeks but I see no relevant recent commits for virtio_balloon, so the related change could be elsewhere. I could bisect but first I figured I'd check to see if someone already had spotted this.
