From 690cc3ffe33ac4a2857583c22d4c6244ae11684d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 16:55:10 +0000 Subject: syscall: Implement a convinience function restart_syscall Currently when we have a signal pending we have the functionality to restart that the current system call. There are other cases such as nasty lock ordering issues where it makes sense to have a simple fix that uses try lock and restarts the system call. Buying time to figure out how to rework the locking strategy. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
