The patch titled uml: fix spurious IRQ testing has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is uml-fix-spurious-irq-testing.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: uml: fix spurious IRQ testing From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> The spurious IRQ testing in request_irq is mishandled in um_request_irq, which sets the incoming file descriptors non-blocking only after request_irq succeeds. This results in the spurious irq calling read on a blocking descriptor, and a hang. Fixed by reversing the O_NONBLOCK setting and the request_irq call.
