powerpc/spufs: Fix spinning in spufs_ps_fault on signal
commit 606572634c3faa5b32a8fc430266e6e9d78d2179 upstream. Currently, we can end up in an infinite loop if we get a signal while the kernel has faulted in spufs_ps_fault. Eg: alarm(1); write(fd, some_spu_psmap_register_address, 4); - the write's copy_from_user will fault on the ps mapping, and signal_pending will be non-zero. Because returning from the fault handler will never clear TIF_SIGPENDING, so we'll just keep faulting, resulting in an unkillable process using 100% of CPU. This change returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS if there's a fatal signal pending, letting us escape the loop. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
