I saw
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
M: Andrew Morton <[email protected]>
L: [email protected]
S: Maintained
in the MAINTAINERS file, so I sent the patch to Andrew and to
[email protected]. I should have sent it also to people on the "MEMORY
MANAGEMENT - CORE" section, but I missed it.

I'm developing code that translates parallelizable loops written in the
Ajla programming language (www.ajla-lang.cz) into OpenCL and runs them on
the graphics card. Ajla sets up a periodic timer that sends a signal for
scheduling purposes and this signal interferes with OpenCL, causing the
-EINTR failures.
So far, I worked around this bug by blocking all signals around the
functions clGetPlatformIDs and clGetDeviceIDs - but it would be better to
fix it in the Linux kernel and remove the signal-blocking hacks.
