It seems that the test (without MAP_POPULATE) reveals that the root
cause is an xfs bug, which had been hidden up to now by MAP_POPULATE
preallocating disk blocks (but could always be triggered by the same
test without the MAP_POPULATE flag). I'm not sure how to go about
debugging the xfs deadlock; it would probably be best if an xfs person
could have a look ?

A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies.
