There are few defects in vga_get() related to signal hadning: - we shouldn't check for pending signals for TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE case; - if we found pending signal we must remove ourself from wait queue and change task state back to running; - -ERESTARTSYS is more appropriate, I guess. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Alex, I try to get KVM with VGA passthrough working properly. I have i915 (HD 4600) on the host and GTX 580 for the guest. The guest GPU is not capabale of EFI, so I have to use x-vga=on. It's kinda work with your patch for i915.enable_hd_vgaarb=1. But guest refuse to initialize the GPU after KVM was not shut down correctly, resulting in host crash like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880870187ed8 IP: [<ffff880870187ed8>] 0xffff880870187ed8 PGD 2129067 PUD 80000008400001e3 Oops: 0011 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: iwlmvm iwlwifi CPU: 6 PID: 3983 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted 4.3.0-gentoo #6 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
