(Get the code!)
Confirm that similar regular freezing occurs only on my machine, with ext4 FS converted from ext3. Typically the freeze occurs under high disk activity; I believe when the freeze has happened, I have had a rsync job traversing whole /home, which contains a large number of small files.
I managed to get a SysRq+L stack trace, when the freeze occurred. (Photo attached; the machine was unresponsive, so can't attach it as text.) The trace is quite similar to that reported in https:/
It might be of note that the system did not initially respond to SysRq commands at first, but responded only after a few minutes.
These freezes occur very frequently, typically within a few hours of uptime. This bug severely affects viability of using ext4 partitions (if the problem really has to do with ext4).
Probably unrelated information: freezes occur both with the non-free Nvidia driver and the free Xorg nv driver.
