FYI I think there is something wrong with my system.
I tried to investigate by starting with an example from:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Open-File-Description-Locks-Example.html

But it get stuck in a similar manner:

[pid  6683] fcntl64(4</tmp/foo>, F_OFD_SETLK, {l_type=F_UNLCK,
l_whence=SEEK_SET, l_start=4294967296, l_len=8367752102667091968}) =
-1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
[pid  6683] nanosleep({0, 1000},  <unfinished ...>
[pid  6682] <... open resumed> )        = 5</tmp/foo>
[pid  6683] <... nanosleep resumed> NULL) = 0
[pid  6683] madvise(0xb6571000, 8372224, MADV_DONTNEED) = 0
[pid  6683] exit(0)                     = ?
[pid  6683] +++ exited with 0 +++
[pid  6682] fcntl64(5</tmp/foo>, F_OFD_SETLKW, {l_type=F_WRLCK,
l_whence=SEEK_SET, l_start=4294967296, l_len=0}

Thanks for the feedback and happy new year!
