It's of similar kind: the system call checks signal_pending(current) and exit
with an error if that's true.

Well, I'm afraid we can't place try_to_freeze() in every system call that
does something like that ...
I don't understand why the poll() system call returns to user space. poll() uses ERESTARTNOHAND, thus it should not return to user space.
Any ideas why ERESTARTNOHAND doesn't work?
