Just tried the newest Kernel 4.4.0-66, and I'm still running into the hang. Here the final statements in /var/log/syslog (the lines, that never make it out onto the disk):

Mar 8 11:26:31 mclint multipathd[955]: mpatha: sdb - tur checker timed out
Mar 8 11:26:31 mclint multipathd[955]: 8:16: reinstated

Mar 8 11:26:32 mclint multipathd[955]: 8:0: reinstated

And this here shows up on the sclp_line console:

I pulled a DASD-Dump from the system:

And again I see 10 multipath-Daemons in the process list, this is my typical hang scenario.

I'll compress the dump and try to find ways to make it available to you ...
