From: David Jeffery Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 15:19:42 +0000 (-0400) Subject: nfs: Don't busy-wait on SIGKILL in __nfs_iocounter_wait X-Git-Tag: v3.16.35~3466 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e312624fb45f28ca57bf69470f79a35f1f41eb58;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git nfs: Don't busy-wait on SIGKILL in __nfs_iocounter_wait commit 92a56555bd576c61b27a5cab9f38a33a1e9a1df5 upstream. If a SIGKILL is sent to a task waiting in __nfs_iocounter_wait, it will busy-wait or soft lockup in its while loop. nfs_wait_bit_killable won't sleep, and the loop won't exit on the error return. Stop the busy-wait by breaking out of the loop when nfs_wait_bit_killable returns an error.
