easy question on syscall control flow

From: Chris Friesen

If I drop down from userspace to the kernel to run a syscall, is there any way for me to get back to that process' userspace without finishing the syscall (ie through signal handlers, etc.)?

I think I'm doing some extra locking that I don't actually need, and I thought I'd double-check before removing it.

Thanks,

Chris
