From b2b163bb82b12bae2504a5b31399c37d099ad3cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:56:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: prevent multiple syscall restarts Al Viro reports that calling "sys_sigsuspend(-ERESTARTNOHAND, 0, 0)" with two signals coming and being handled in kernel space results in the syscall restart being done twice. Avoid this by clearing the 'why' flag when we call the signal handling code to prevent further syscall restarts after the first.
