There are many reports which are stalling inside __getblk_gfp().
And there is horrible comment for __getblk_gfp():

  /*
   * __getblk_gfp() will locate (and, if necessary, create) the buffer_head
   * which corresponds to the passed block_device, block and size. The
   * returned buffer has its reference count incremented.
   *
   * __getblk_gfp() will lock up the machine if grow_dev_page's
   * try_to_free_buffers() attempt is failing.  FIXME, perhaps?
   */

This report is stalling after mount() completed and process used remap_file_pages().
I think that we might need to use debug printk(). But I don't know what to examine.
