I think we have a real usecase which is triggering this error and I was still in the middle of debugging that. But my initial analysis was showing that the userspace thread was stuck in the indefinite loop. I have a reliable reproducer of the problem and will setup a test tomorrow and confirm.
There are more patches in that area and you also need a fixed glibc.
I can see 1a1fb985f2e2 ("futex: Handle early deadlock return correctly") is already there in 4.14-stable. Is anything else missing, other than this one?
glibc might be a problem, but lets see what can be done.
