Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vfio: Flush signals on device request interruption
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 12:14:45 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150414181445.6081.32372.stgit@gimli.home> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150414180228.6081.10459.stgit@gimli.home>

Signals don't just interrupt our wait, they remain pending such that
subsequent wait_events timeout immediately.  This can cause a CPU to
spin with a single signal.  Flush signals if we receive an
interruption and also log information about the reason the task is
blocked.
