staging: vchiq_core: Return -EINTR in queue_message() on interrupt

Browse source

queue_message() uses mutex_lock_killable() and
wait_for_completion_killable() variations of locking and wait event
completions respectively. These functions return either 0 (on success)
or -EINTR, if interrupted by a fatal signal (as documented in the
kernel).

However, queue_message() is currently returning -EAGAIN if these
killable functions are interrupted by fatal signals. Bubbling up
-EAGAIN might give a sense to the caller, that the code path can
be re-tried however, in actual sense, a fatal signal has been
received by the process and the process is going away.

Hence, we should align the return value with what these killable
versions will return i.e. -EINTR (Interrupted system call).
