4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tuomas Tynkkynen <tuomas@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9523feac272ccad2ad8186ba4fcc89103754de52 upstream. Because userspace gets Very Unhappy when calls like stat() and execve() return -EINTR on 9p filesystem mounts. For instance, when bash is looking in PATH for things to execute and some SIGCHLD interrupts stat(), bash can throw a spurious 'command not found' since it doesn't retry the stat(). In practice, hitting the problem is rare and needs a really slow/bogged down 9p server.
