[PATCH 3.18 027/183] drm/vmwgfx: Fix error printout on signals pending

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Jan 25 2015 - 13:53:07 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e338c4c2b620ba4e75fd3576f8142eb93be12ce3 upstream.

The function vmw_master_check() might return -ERESTARTSYS if there is a
signal pending, indicating that the IOCTL should be rerun, potentially from
user-space. At that point we shouldn't print out an error message since that
is not an error condition. In short, avoid bloating the kernel log when a
process refuses to die on SIGTERM.
