Subject[rfc][patch] futex: restartable futex_wait?
Hi Ingo,

I'm seeing an LTP test fail for ltp test sigaction_16_24. Basically,
it tests whether the SA_RESTART flag works for the sem_wait operation.

I see sem_wait is implemented with futex_wait, so I wonder whether we
can make it restartable? Am I going about it the right way? (Seems to
fix the testcase here).

Thanks,
Nick
