Subject: [PATCH] aio: Do not return ERESTARTSYS as a result of AIO (v2)
Date: Thu,  9 Sep 2010 21:36:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1284060970-26829-1-git-send-email-jack@suse.cz> (raw)

OCFS2 can return ERESTARTSYS from its write function when the process is
signalled while waiting for a cluster lock (and the filesystem is mounted with
intr mount option). Generally, it seems reasonable to allow filesystems to
return this error code from its IO functions. As we must not leak ERESTARTSYS
(and similar error codes) to userspace as a result of an AIO operation, we
have to properly convert it to EINTR inside AIO code (restarting the syscall
isn't really an option because other AIO could have been already submitted by
the same io_submit syscall).

  Andrew, I'm not sure what happened with the old version of the patch (I had
a feeling you carried it in -mm but I cannot see it there now). Anyway, here's
a new version with better changelog as several people raised questions about
the previous one. Please consider merging it. Thanks.
