ok, great.  You didn't mention what release you're using on gcp, but I have a 
4.13 test kernel in this ppa, with patches to specifically fix/workaround the 
hanging problem:
https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1711407

Note that *only* version 4.13.0-38.43+hf1711407v20180413b1 in that ppa
has the patches to workaround the hanging.  If you need a different
version, let me know and I can apply the patches and build for whatever
release you need (just give me the 'uname -a' output).

The details of the cause of this problem is back in comment 72, if you
want that info.  I'm preparing to send the workaround patch upstream;
after that, there will be (likely ongoing) work to debug the various
dst/object leaks and kernel socket "leaks" that are actually causing the
symptoms.
