Subject: net: unix: non blocking recvmsg() should not return -EINTR
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit de1443916791d75fdd26becb116898277bb0273f ]
Some applications didn't expect recvmsg() on a non blocking socket
could return -EINTR. This possibility was added as a side effect
of commit b3ca9b02b00704 ("net: fix multithreaded signal handling in
unix recv routines").
To hit this bug, you need to be a bit unlucky, as the u->readlock
mutex is usually held for very small periods.
Fixes: b3ca9b02b00704 ("net: fix multithreaded signal handling in unix recv routines")
