Subjectext4 unkillable lseek.
I was investigating a case where it looked like Trinity was getting
into a deadlock.

The running task is doing an lseek(fd, <bignum>, SEEK_DATA) on a sparse
file that looks like this..

$ ll trinity-testfile4
--wxrwx--- 1 davej davej 4947802326691 Jan 12 09:14 trinity-testfile4*
$ sudo filefrag trinity-testfile4
trinity-testfile4: 3 extents found

The kernel trace for that process looks like..

It's currently been running for a hour.
Even though it's preempting back to userspace, it's ignoring
all the SIGKILLs that trinity has been sending it for taking too long.

Meanwhile all the other processes are backing up on the f_pos lock.

Eventually it does complete, but waiting a half hour every time
trinity picks lseek as a syscall is kinda crappy.

Shouldn't lseek be a killable operation ?

I notice this doesn't seem to happen with btrfs, suggesting it's
an ext'ism. This has probably been there for a while, I've not
been doing fuzz runs on ext4 enabled systems for a long time.
