[PATCH v2] s390x/pv: Retry ioctls on -EINTR
Posted by Christian Borntraeger 4 years ago
PV_ENABLE (and maybe others) might return -EINTR when a signal is
pending. See the Linux kernel patch "s390/gmap: return proper error code
on ksm unsharing" for details. Let us retry the ioctl in that case.

Fixes: 4d226deafc44 ("s390x: protvirt: Support unpack facility")

I'll update that when the commit ids are stable.
