At first glance this looks obvious? I never used inotify and I never
looked into fs/notify/inotify/, but it seems that inotify_read() simply
returns -EINTR if signal_pending() and doesn't implement restarts.

Probably this trivial change


--- x/fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c
+++ x/fs/notify/inotify/inotify_user.c
@@ -264,7 +264,7 @@ static ssize_t inotify_read(struct file
ret = -EAGAIN;
if (file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK)
break;
- ret = -EINTR;
+ ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
if (signal_pending(current))
break;


makes sense.
