[PATCH] posix_fallocate.3: fallocate may be interrupted

[PATCH] posix_fallocate.3: fallocate may be interrupted

[Jérémie Galarneau]

The glibc implementation of posix_fallocate, which calls
fallocate(), may be interrupted. The fallocate() emulation
also makes use of pread()/pwrite(), which may also be
interrupted.
