EINTR wiht ERESTARTSYS: the futex functions receive a timeout a the
parameter, with the duration of the wait call as a parameter. You must
use ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK.
Whoa, not so fast. At least the futex syscall but be interruptible by
signals. It is crucial to return EINTR.
Yes, of course.
ERESTARTSYS means honor SA_RESTART.
EINTR means return from the syscall, even if SA_RESTART is set in the
signal handler.
Is it necessary that the futex syscall ignores SA_RESTART?
