"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hang_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

What does this mean ?
It means you're writing data faster than GFS can handle it, so it's
pausing on you. We see this semi-regularly here on our clusters.
I suspect Bob Petersen's test kernel or patches from ~2-3 weeks ago will
help you as these contain a bunch of fixes for slow writes.
