I looked at the madm stack trace, and I was assuming that it occurred
during the same boot as the other one. I suppose I shouldn't have, but
it would make sense. mdadm appears to be blocked on a block device's
bd_mutex, so the cause is probably something else that has hung while
holding that mutex. The mkfs stack trace would be just the kind of thing
to create the mdadm stack trace, if it were trying to open the same
device.

So, were those traces from a single boot or from different boots?

Can you provide stack trace(s) from the q35 machine type for comparison?
Thanks!
