I think I found the culprit, but fixing this will need some discussions
on NetBSD lists:
dd waits on a vnode lock owned by the ioflush kernel thread, which is
responsible of periodical fsync.
ioflush is stuck on the following backtrace:
cv_wait
genfs_do_putpages
genfs_putpages
VOP_PUTPAGES
nfs_flush
nfs_fsync
VOP_FSYNC
nfs_sync
sync_fsync
The cv_wait() call in genfs_do_putpages():
/* Wait for output to complete. */
if (!wasclean && !async && vp->v_numoutput != 0) {
while (vp->v_numoutput != 0)
cv_wait(&vp->v_cv, slock);
}
cv_wait() is uninterruptible, timeout-less wait which is obviously wrong
there. cv_timedwait_sig() would be better, but that means pulling NFS
mount options from a lower layer. Not obvious on the architecture front.
