[PATCH 1/1] fsopen: fsconfig syscall restart fix

From: Alexander Mikhalitsyn
Date: Wed Sep 23 2020 - 13:44:45 EST


During execution of vfs_fsconfig_locked function we can get ERESTARTNOINTR
error (or other interrupt error). But we changing fs context fc->phase
field to transient states and our entry fc->phase checks in switch cases
(see FS_CONTEXT_CREATE_PARAMS, FS_CONTEXT_RECONF_PARAMS) will always fail
after syscall restart which will lead to returning -EBUSY to the userspace.

The idea of the fix is to save entry-time fs_context phase field value and
recover fc->phase value to the original one before exiting with
"interrupt error" (ERESTARTNOINTR or similar).

Many thanks to Andrei Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxx> for help with that.
