The above log shows that the io stall happens on sdd, where:

1) 616 requests pending from scheduler queue

grep "busy=" blockdebugfs-all2.txt | grep sdd | grep sched | awk -F "=" '{s+=$2} END {print s}'
616

2) 11 requests pending from ./sdd/hctx2/dispatch for more than 300 seconds

Recently we seldom observe io hang from dispatch list, except for the
following two:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20220803023355.3687360-1-yuyufen@huaweicloud.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20220726122224.1790882-1-yukuai1@huaweicloud.com/

BTW, what is the output of the following log?

	(cd /sys/block/sdd/device && find . -type f -exec grep -aH . {} \;)

Also the above log shows that host_tagset_enable support is still
crippled on v5.12, I guess the issue may not be triggered(or pretty hard)
after you update to d97e594c5166 ("blk-mq: Use request queue-wide tags for
tagset-wide sbitmap"), or v5.14.
