I don't think so but lets discuss this later.

Heh. apparently you do not read my emails ;)

This is what I proposed in my very 1st email, and I even showed the patch
and the code with the patch applied twice. Let me do this again.

Let me show the code with the patch applied. I am using epoll_pwait() as an
example because it looks very simple.


	static inline void set_restore_sigmask(void)
	{
// WARN_ON(!TIF_SIGPENDING) was removed by this patch
		current->restore_sigmask = true;
	}

	int set_xxx(const sigset_t __user *umask, size_t sigsetsize)
	{
		sigset_t *kmask;

		if (!umask)
			return 0;
		if (sigsetsize != sizeof(sigset_t))
			return -EINVAL;
		if (copy_from_user(kmask, umask, sizeof(sigset_t)))
			return -EFAULT;

// we can safely modify ->saved_sigmask/restore_sigmask, they has no meaning
// until the syscall returns.
		set_restore_sigmask();
		current->saved_sigmask = current->blocked;
		set_current_blocked(kmask);

		return 0;
	}


	void update_xxx(bool interrupted)
	{
// the main reason for this helper is WARN_ON(!TIF_SIGPENDING) which was "moved"
// from set_restore_sigmask() above.
		if (interrupted)
			WARN_ON(!test_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING));
		else
			restore_saved_sigmask();
	}

	SYSCALL_DEFINE6(epoll_pwait, int, epfd, struct epoll_event __user *, events,
			int, maxevents, int, timeout, const sigset_t __user *, sigmask,
			size_t, sigsetsize)
	{
		int error;

		error = set_xxx(sigmask, sigsetsize);
		if (error)
			return error;

		error = do_epoll_wait(epfd, events, maxevents, timeout);
		update_xxx(error == -EINTR);

		return error;
	}

Oleg.
