Hi All,

Sorry for bring back this old topic again.

This is the testcase.
"/unit_tests/SRTC/rtcwakeup.out -d rtc0 -m mem -s 2;"
it acts "echo mem > /sys/power/state", then rtc interrupt will wakeup the system.

My understanding is:
The issue is during suspend resume, it is in rtwakeup.out process space,
during resume, "get_current()->comm" shows "rtcwakeup.out", so if we
send SIGKILL from userspace, a interrupt will occur, interrupt
handler will directly return to kernel space to continue resuming.

__setup_irq->kthread_create->wait_for_completion_killable, here
wait_for_completion_killable see SIGKILL pending and return -EINTR,
then sdhci resume process failure, because of sdhci interrupt thread
not created.

During suspend/resume, OOM Killer will be disabled and enalbed. When
request_threaded_irq in sdhci resume, OOM Killer is still disabled.
According to kthread_create comments for wait_for_completion_killable,
using killable is to catch OOM sigkill. But during resume, OOM Killer
is disabled, So how about the following patch to disable SIGKILL for
a short while?
