It looks like a completely different problem. I was wanting 5e672cd69f0a53 
as a resolution to this:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220510215411.GT1098723@dread.disaster.area/T/

In that case there were kernel stacks etc. showing inodegc stuff, and the 
problem eventually resolved itself once the massive amount of work had 
been processed (5e672cd69f0a53 puts that work into the background).

In this case it looks like it's just a pure hang or deadlock - there's 
apparently nothing happening.

Cheers,

Chris
