I thought it was, but from my look through yout 8-billion-task backtrace,
no task was stuck in D-state with the appropriate call trace.

So I don't know what's causing this. In the first trace you have at least
four D-state kjournalds and a lot of processes stuck on an i_mutex. I
guess it's consistent with an IO system which is losing completion
interrupts. AFAICT in the second trace all you have is a lot of processes
stuck on i_mutex for no obvious reason - I don't know why that would
happen.

How long does it take for this to happen?

Yes, lockdep might find something.
