Hello,
On commit 8005c49d9aea74d382f474ce11afbbc7d7130bec (Nov 15).
The program is:
// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/eventfd.h>
#include <sys/sendfile.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#define SYS_memfd_create 319
int main()
{
int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
int r2 = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "", 0);
unsigned long n = 1<<30;
fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);
return 0;
}
It can be executed under non-privileged user and creates an unkillable
process. It probably will terminate eventually, but it can take
days/weeks. Note that "mm: make sendfile(2) killable"
296291cdd1629c308114504b850dc343eabc2782 is merged, so it is something
different. Though, probably similar.
Thank you.

Thanks for the report. Yes, the nature of the problem is similar but here
we don't hit standard filesystem write path where a signal test is. I'll
send a fix which fixes the issue for me shortly.
BTW, this test actually doesn't hang for me but rather burns CPU all the
time and thus causes also softlockups / RCU stalls. I'll send a fix for
that as well.
