[PATCH] 2.6-test6: nanosleep+SIGCONT weirdness
From: George Anzinger
Date: Tue Nov 11 2003 - 17:47:07 EST
The problem was that the address of the users return timespec was being saved at
the wrong place. In needs to be saved in the sys call interface code rather
than the do_clock_nanosleep(). My tests were a bit weak as they only did one
signal rather than two or more which were required to break it.
The attached patch fixes the problem and reverts the removal of the
FOLD_NANO_SLEEP_INTO_CLOCK_NANO_SLEEP code. This code meets the standard WRT
signal interruption AND WRT being able to sleep for longer than MAX_LONG jiffies
(something the move to HZ=1000 makes more pressing).
Change log:
Revert the FOLD_NANO_SLEEP_INTO_CLOCK_NANO_SLEEP code. Fix both nanosleep() and
clock_nanosleep() signal restart code.
Added a few comments about how restart works.
Add my name to the MAINTAINERS list.

That nanosleep restart seems to be broken, and quite frankly, looking at
the mess in kernel/posix-timers.c I'm not all that surprised. The code is
total and absolute crap. I have no idea how it's even supposed to work.
I'd suggest just removing the regular nanosleep() emulation from there.
The clock_nanosleep() restart is likely still broken, but at least this
way the _regular_ nanosleep() system call works correctly, and fixing
clock_nanosleep() is likely easier since the restart stuff doesn't have to
worry about _which_ system call it should restart.
