Your symptoms are completely consistent with a request being submitted to the underlying device, and that request never completing. What controller runs your drives for you. You should probably report the problem to the relevant maintainer. Do you compile your own kernels? Would you be comfortable using "git bisect" to narrow down exactly which change breaks things? It should take more than a dozen or so tests.
