Hi, sorry for the delay, I had to give away the nodes and we had a week
of teambuilding and company party, so for the past week I only managed
to hack away stripping debug symbols, get another node and set it up.
Experiments below are based off of vanilla 6.9.8 kernel *without* your
patch.

So, after tinkering with building scripts I managed to build modules
with debug symbols (not the kernel itself but should be good enough),
but for some reason kernel doesn't show line numbers in stacktraces. No
idea what could be causing it, so I had to decode line numbers
manually, below is an output where I inserted line numbers for raid456
manually after decoding them with `gdb`.

The two devices that are left after the 3rd one is removed has these
numbers that don't change with time:
[Mon Jul 22 20:18:06 @ ~]:> for d in dm-19 dm-17; do echo -n $d; cat
/sys/block/$d/inflight; done
dm-19 9 1
dm-17 11 2
[Mon Jul 22 20:18:11 @ ~]:> for d in dm-19 dm-17; do echo -n $d; cat
/sys/block/$d/inflight; done
dm-19 9 1
dm-17 11 2
They also don't change after I return the disk back (which is to be
expected I guess, given that the lockup doesn't go away).

Tested: raid10 works just fine, i.e. no lockup and fio continues
having non-zero IOPS.
