I haven't got the first email, is it "kernel NULL pointer dereference"
as in the subject or just freeze?

also
- anything in dmesg? (>5 min after freeze)
- did you locate which test hangs it? If so what it uses? e.g. SQPOLL
sharing, IOPOLL., etc.
- is it send/recvmsg, send/recv you use? any other?
- does this happen often?
- you may try `funcgraph __io_sq_thread -H` or even with `io_sq_thread`
(funcgraph is from bpftools). Or catch that with some other tools.
