Calling `os.sync()` when the Linux page cache is large and full of dirty pages and the storage device is slow can block the process in "uninterruptible sleep" state for minutes, making the test run unkillable even with SIGKILL. Avoid this by testing `os.sync()` only if "largefile" resource is enabled.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you, it looks like a good idea.
There is also "cpu" resource and new "walltime" resource. "cpu" is disabled by default on CI and in "make test", so it may be better choice than "largefille".
You can also move this test into a separate method and decorate it as bigmemtest. It will be skipped on most buildbots except special buildbots with a large amount of RAM.
