How about changing the scheduler either mq-deadline or noop, just
to see if this is also reproducible with a different scheduler. I
guess noop would imply the blk cgroup controller is going to be
disabled

I already reported on that: always happens with bfq within an hour or
less. Doesn't happen with mq-deadline for ~25+ hours. Does happen
with bfq with the above patches removed. Does happen with
cgroup.disabled=io set.

Sounds to me like it's something bfq depends on and is somehow
becoming perturbed in a way that mq-deadline does not, and has
changed between 5.11 and 5.12. I have no idea what's under bfq that
matches this description.

Chris, just a shot in the dark but can you try the patch from

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20220803121504.212071-1-yukuai1@huaweicloud.com/ (local)

on top of something more recent than 5.12? Ideally 5.19 where it applies
cleanly.

The problem doesn't reliably reproduce on 5.19. A patch for 5.12..5.18 would be much more testable.
