Generally the signal handler restores the state of the pkey register before returning. However there are times when the read/write operation can legitamely fail without invoking the signal handler. Eg: A sys_read() operaton to a write-protected page should be disallowed. In such a case the state of the pkey register is not restored to its original state. The test case is responsible for restoring the key register state to its original value.
