Try lots of writing to the file backed loop file system:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mountpoint/foo bs=1024k
If that doesn't trigger it, then start some fatware programs (openoffice +
mozilla) that eat lots of RAM, and then try again.
Deadlocks may happen when kernel is running out of free RAM, and kernel
memory allocation routines attempts to flush dirty RAM pages to backing
store.
