nozomi: ERESTARTSYS to userspace?

[Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>]

Hi,

static int ntty_write(struct tty_struct *tty, const unsigned char *buffer,
                      int count)
{
        int rval = -EINVAL;
        struct nozomi *dc = get_dc_by_tty(tty);
        struct port *port = (struct port *)tty->driver_data;
        unsigned long flags;

        /* DBG1( "WRITEx: %d, index = %d", count, index); */

        if (!dc || !port)
                return -ENODEV;

        if (unlikely(down_trylock(&port->tty_sem))) {
                /*
                 * must test lock as tty layer wraps calls
                 * to this function with BKL
                 */
                dev_err(&dc->pdev->dev, "Would have deadlocked - "
                        "return ERESTARTSYS\n");
                return -ERESTARTSYS;
        }

The use of ERESTARTSYS seems bogus to me, no signal is pending and this flag
would reach userspace (that is not permitted), am I right?
