The patch titled do_poll: return -EINTR when signalled has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is do_poll-return-eintr-when-signalled.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: do_poll: return -EINTR when signalled From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> do_poll() checks signal_pending() but returns 0 when interrupted. This means the caller has to check signal_pending() again. Change it to return -EINTR when signal_pending() and count == 0.
