Treat an -EAGAIN return from GUP the same as -EINTR and immediately report to the caller that a signal is pending. GUP only returns -EAGAIN if the _initial_ mmap_read_lock_killable() fails, which in turn onnly fails if a signal is pending Note, rwsem_down_read_slowpath() actually returns -EINTR, so GUP is really just making life harder than it needs to be. And the call to mmap_read_lock_killable() in the retry path returns its -errno verbatim, i.e. GUP (and thus KVM) is already handling locking failure this way, but only some of the time.

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 reStructuredText 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.
