Subject: [PATCH 3/6] exec: Stop open coding mutex_lock_killable of cred_guard_mutex
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk


Oleg modified the code that did
"mutex_lock_interruptible(&current->cred_guard_mutex)" to return
-ERESTARTNOINTR instead of -EINTR, so that userspace will never see a
failure to grab the mutex.

Slightly earlier Liam R. Howlett defined mutex_lock_killable for
exactly the same situation but it does it a little more cleanly.

Switch the code to mutex_lock_killable so that it is clearer what the
code is doing.

Ref: 793285fcafce ("cred_guard_mutex: do not return -EINTR to user-space")
