Allow kernel services using AF_RXRPC to indicate that a call should be non-interruptible. This allows kafs to make things like lock-extension and writeback data storage calls non-interruptible. If this is set, signals will be ignored for operations on that call where possible - such as waiting to get a call channel on an rxrpc connection. It doesn't prevent UDP sendmsg from being interrupted, but that will be handled by packet retransmission. rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() isn't affected by this since that never waits, preferring instead to return -EAGAIN and leave the waiting to the caller. Userspace initiated calls can't be set to be uninterruptible at this time. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
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.
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.
