This should be "if (timeout_msecs)", a negative timeout means
"wait indefinitely", so we should restart as well.

and, in that case, we should use "(u64)timeout_jiffies >> 32".


Small nit: sys_poll() and do_restart_poll() are not "symmetrical", the latter
doesn't check *timeout at all. Either way is correct, restart with zero timeout
means "try again once but doesn't wait".

There is a subtle (but harmless) difference though. Suppose that *timeout == 0
(either because timeout_msecs == 0 or because timeout expiried) and we have a
"false" signal_pending(). In that case sys_poll() returns EINTR, but 
do_restart_poll()
returns 0.

I was a bit surprized that sys_poll() return EINTR even if timeout expired, but
preserved this behaviour in do_poll-return-eintr-when-signalled.patch.

Perhaps it is better to just remove "if (timeout_msecs > 0)" check from 
sys_poll().
Then we can modify do_poll() to return EINTR only when !*timeout, to eliminate
unneeded (but correct) restart.

What do you think?

Oleg.

This passes my simple 32-bit and 64-bit testing.  See any issues with
this one?

Subject: [PATCH] Use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK if poll() is interrupted by a signal
From: Chris Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Lomesh reported poll returning EINTR during suspend/resume cycle.
This is caused by the STOP/CONT cycle that the freezer uses, generating
a pending signal for what in effect is an ignored signal.  In general
poll is a little eager in returning EINTR, when it could try not bother
userspace and simply restart the syscall.  Both select and ppoll do use
ERESTARTNOHAND to restart the syscall.  Oleg points out that simply using
ERESTARTNOHAND will cause poll to restart with original timeout value.
which could ultimately lead to process never returning to userspace.
Instead use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, and restart poll with updated timeout
value.  Inspired by Manfred's use ERESTARTNOHAND in poll patch.
