Hi,
This patch
www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h
=c3ff8ec31c1249d268cd11390649768a12bec1b9 has broken vm86
interrupt/signal handling in case when vm86 is called from kernel space.
In this scenario, if signal is pending because of vm86 interrupt,
do_notify_resume/do_signal exits immediately due to user_mode() check,
without processing any signals. Thus, resume_userspace handler is
spinning in a tight loop with signal pending and TIF_SIGPENDING is set.
Previously everything worked Ok.
The following patch fixes the issue
