Bug description:
  There is an unfortunate bug in the fanotify implementation in pre 3.8
  kernels, where due to a race a multithreaded application could end up
  being hanged in an uninterruptible state.

  The fix has been around since March last year, but pushed to mainline
  in November. The patch in question is:
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-
  stable.git/commit/fs/notify/fanotify?id=03a1cec1f17ac1a6041996b3e40f96b5a2f90e1b
