When you say "return" do you mean "in kernel", or "return to userspace"? My (possibly naive) understanding is that one could simply s/EINTR/ERESTARTNOHAND/ for FUTEX_WAIT, in order to achieve the change I want: for userland that ERESTARTNOHAND would be returned as EINTR if a signal handler interrupted the FUTEX_WAIT.
