This seems to suggest that filemap_fault() is blocked on page lock and
is sleeping. For some reason it never wakes up. Not sure why.

And this will be called from.

fuse_fill_write_pages()
   iov_iter_fault_in_readable()

So fuse code will take inode_lock() and then looks like same process
is sleeping waiting on page lock. And rest of the processes get blocked
behind inode lock.

If we are woken up (while waiting on page lock), we should make forward
progress. Question is what page it is and why the entity which is
holding lock is not releasing lock.

Thanks
