From 1ca39ab9d21ac93f94b9e3eb364ea9a5cf2aba06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:07:59 -0400 Subject: inotify: automatically restart syscalls We were mistakenly returning EINTR when we found an outstanding signal. Instead we should returen ERESTARTSYS and allow the kernel to handle things the right way.
