diskfs_release_peropen is called as part of a cleanup operation if diskfs_create_protid returns an error. This function tries to lock the mutex of the node related to the peropen structure.

At multiple places in libdiskfs, this call is made with this mutex already hold, so the current thread (and every other thread that tries to operate with that node) is blocked forever.

This behaviour is pretty uncommon as diskfs_create_protid only fails in case that all ports available to the current task have been consumed.
