On May 4th, I asked you:

Since this is provoked by a fatal signal, it must have something to do
with a killable or interruptible sleep.  There's only one of those in the
DAX code; fatal_signal_pending() in dax_iomap_actor().  Does rocksdb do
I/O with write() or through a writable mmap()?  I'd like to know before
I chase too far down this fault tree analysis.
