If it was interrupted by a signal, the 9p client may need to send some more requests to the server for cleanup before returning to userspace. To avoid such a last minute request to be interrupted right away, the client memorizes if a signal is pending, clears TIF_SIGPENDING, handles the request and calls recalc_sigpending() before returning. Unfortunately, if the transmission of this cleanup request fails for any reason, the transport returns an error and the client propagates it right away, without calling recalc_sigpending(). This ends up with -ERESTARTSYS from the initially interrupted request crawling up to syscall exit, with TIF_SIGPENDING cleared by the cleanup request. The specific signal handling code, which is responsible for converting -ERESTARTSYS to -EINTR is not called, and userspace receives the confusing errno value: open: Unknown error 512 (512) This is really hard to hit in real life. I discovered the issue while working on hot-unplug of a virtio-9p-pci device with an instrumented QEMU allowing to control request completion. Both p9_client_zc_rpc() and p9_client_rpc() functions have this buggy error path actually. Their code flow is a bit obscure and the best thing to do would probably be a full rewrite: to really ensure this situation of clearing TIF_SIGPENDING and returning -ERESTARTSYS can never happen. But given the general lack of interest for the 9p code, I won't risk breaking more things. So this patch simply fixes the buggy paths in both functions with a trivial label+goto. Thanks to Laurent Dufour for his help and suggestions on how to find the root cause and how to fix it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
