[PATCH] h8300: fix syscall restarting

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon Sep 26 2016 - 15:34:10 EST


Back in commit f56141e3e2d9aabf ("all arches, signal: move restart_block
to struct task_struct"), all architectures and core code were changed to
use task_struct::restart_block. However, when h8300 support was
subsequently restored in v4.2, it was not updated to account for this,
and maintains thread_info::restart_block, which is not kept in sync.

This patch drops the redundant restart_block from thread_info, and moves
h8300 to the common one in task_struct, ensuring that syscall restarting
always works as expected.

Hi,

While looking into some arm64 rework I spooted this issue with h8300. I
previously sent this in reply [1] to another patch, so I guess no-one spotted
it.

Thanks,
Mark.
