This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: set_termios/set_termiox should not return -EINTR
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=904907
read command causes bash to abort with double free or corruption (out).
A simple test-case from Roman:
// Compile the reproducer and send sigchld ti that process.
// EINTR occurs even if SA_RESTART flag is set.
void handler(int sig)
{
}
main()
{
struct sigaction act;
act.sa_handler = handler;
act.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
sigaction (SIGCHLD, &act, 0);
struct termio ttp;
ioctl(0, TCGETA, &ttp);
while(1)
{
if (ioctl(0, TCSETAW, ttp) < 0)
{
if (errno == EINTR)
{
fprintf(stderr, "BUG!"); return(1);
}
}
}
}
Change set_termios/set_termiox to return -ERESTARTSYS to fix this
particular problem.
I didn't dare to change other EINTR's in drivers/tty/, but they look
equally wrong.
