This is the minimal reproducer:
        int fd;
        off_t off = 0;

        fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644);
        ftruncate(fd, 2);
        lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
        sendfile(fd, fd, &off, 0xfffffff);

And although it is a "nice" way to DOS a kernel, it isn't a bug as such.
Effectively you ask kernel to copy some 256MB of data in 2-byte chunks,
fsyncing after each chunk. That takes a *lot* of time to do... In my test
kvm the write speed is some whooping 50 bytes/s so after roughly 62 days
the syscall *will* complete.

I guess some fatal_signal_pending() check somewhere would be good so that
the process can be killed. We do have such check in generic_perform_write()
and that would almost work. The trouble is that we always first write those
two bytes, only then perform signal check and then we return 2 bytes
written. Thus the information about signal gets continuously lost.

I'll send a patch which fixes the problem for me and makes the test program
killable.
