[PATCH] firmware: request_firmware() should propagate -ERESTARTSYS

Show all headers | View raw

When -ERESTARTSYS is returned by wait_* due to a signal this should
be returned from request_firmware() so that the syscall may be
restarted if necessary.

Without this it is not possible to distinguish the case of
request_firmware() failing due to a timeout with that due to a signal.

In my particular case request_firmware() was being called from
a sysfs .store() callback and the writing process was the
Android init process which received a SIGCHLD causing
request_firmware() to fail.
