From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 03:40:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Make /dev/zero reads interruptible by signals X-Git-Tag: v2.6.31-rc1~426 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b83868723d090078ac0e2120e06a1cc94dbaef0;p=pandora-kernel.git Make /dev/zero reads interruptible by signals This helps with bad latencies for large reads from /dev/zero, but might conceivably break some application that "knows" that a read of /dev/zero cannot return early. So do this early in the merge window to give us maximal test coverage, even if the patch is totally trivial. Obviously, no well-behaved application should ever depend on the read being uninterruptible, but hey, bugs happen. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
