For some reason the log [1] has very little of the kernel dmesg log.
It does seem like the freeze is partial (I see messages for hundreds
or thousands of seconds after the nvme reset), but requires a reboot
to recover.

The lspci information [2] shows the 00:1b.0 Root Port leading to the
01:00.0 NVMe device.

Is it possible to collect lspci output after the nvme freeze?  If so,
please save the output of:

  sudo lspci -vv -s00:1b.0
  sudo lspci -vv -s01:00.0

Make sure to run lspci as root so we can see the error logging
registers for these devices.

If you can collect more of the dmesg log after the freeze, e.g., via
the "dmesg" command, that might be helpful, too.
