This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: 8226/1: cacheflush: get rid of restarting block to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt13. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From d739c93c2da55999d3946d4decd7956046ef58f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2014 11:39:04 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8226/1: cacheflush: get rid of restarting block commit 3f4aa45ceea5789a4aade536acc27f2e0d3da5e1 upstream. We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are a few problems with that: * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the process has to use the same range again * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing as early as fatal signal is pending.
