Bug Description

User reports a hang under heavy I/O:

The IO hang problem on our cloud is caused by IO hang in block-wbt wbt_wait.
The fix commit id is 2887e41b910bb14fd847cf01ab7a5993db989d88. It is a block write buffer throttle queue lock contention and thundering herd issue in wbt_wait()

We can recreate the problem easily by running concurrent IO from multiple VMs with sequential write. We can provide fio workload as needed for recreate.

This issue seems to occur with kernels > 4.10 and < v4.19
and got already fixed with applying two patches to bionic (and cosmic) in LP 1810998 - thx to Mauricio Faria de Oliveira.
Hence this bug here can be considered as done and I mark this bug as a duplicate of LP 1810998.
