Title Body

My user-space application sometimes blocks after receiving an EINTR-Signal, somehow. What I recorded with strace: time(NULL) = 1257343042 time(NULL) = 1257343042 rt_sigreturn(0xbff07be4) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) --- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) --- time(NULL) = 1257343042 futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) --- SIGUSR1 (User defined signal 1) @ 0 (0) --- sigreturn() = ? (mask now [ALRM]) futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) --- SIGWINCH (Window changed) @ 0 (0) --- futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) --- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) --- time(NULL) = 1257343443 time(NULL) = 1257343443 futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted) --- SIGWINCH (Window changed) @ 0 (0) --- futex(0xb7cea80c, 0x80 /* FUTEX_??? */, 2 Can I catch the EINTR signal and how can I repeat concerned calls such as write, read or select? How can I determine WHERE this EINTR occurred, even if I used third-party libraries working with system calls? Why my app is completely blocked after receiving an EINTR (see strace dump: I sent a SIGUSR1 which normally should be handled)? And why is futex() returning ERESTARTSYS to user space? thanks
