From 8fe6929cfd43c44834858a53e129ffdc7c166298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:05:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kthread: fix return value of kthread_create() upon SIGKILL. Commit 786235eeba0e ("kthread: make kthread_create() killable") meant for allowing kthread_create() to abort as soon as killed by the OOM-killer. But returning -ENOMEM is wrong if killed by SIGKILL from userspace. Change kthread_create() to return -EINTR upon SIGKILL.
