You have a first series of hung task report from 19440.852298 to 19440.880024
then it's followed by the traces and then again with a hung task report at
19560.880084. But there is only one task stuck in that 2nd report. Did
you report your whole dmesg there or have you cut it? If it's your
whole dmesg then it means the other tasks from the first report have released
from their hung state. So the queued writers have been released by someone
who closed the journal.

This could confirm the theory that someone has opened the journal and
spent way too much time before releasing it. Or something else.
In any case tell me, there are other tests we can run.
