OK, this looks a new report.

Without any log, we can't make any progress, and even we can't guess
what the issue is related with.

Could you post your dmesg log(include the hang process stack trace)? And
dump the debugfs log by the following script when this hang happens?

BTW, you just need to pass the disk name to the script, such as: /dev/sda.
