but the above have nothing to do with the blkdev-pagecache.
Blkdev-pagecache can matter only with blkdev accesses, blkdev-pagecache
cannot make any difference if the I/O passes through any fs (not via the
block_dev layer) like in the above case.

Can you try to take those cp under strace timestamp and see what's the
syscall that blocks?
