Subject: [Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ocfs2: Block signals for file creation
Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 11:59:19 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100510185919.GC25670@mail.oracle.com> (raw)

File creation is not idempotent.  Signal interruption can cause a
restart of the operations, but once we have started we cannot safely do
so.  The two patches of this series make the operations signal-safe.
