over serial console, or echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger would do it...

"Locking hang in __fdget_pos()" would mean either something stuck inside
->read/->write/->read_iter/->write_iter/->llseek instance, making
any further syscalls in that bunch on the same open file to block,
or a lost fdput_pos() somewhere; AFAICS, we don't have anything of
the latter variety, but the former is too wide to tell anything
useful.
