But I'm not sure it's a good idea in the long run. Think of a printer
daemon, for example. It shouldn't have to experience unexpected I/O
problems merely because someone has decided to put the system to sleep.
Why not ? Printer is offline when machine is asleep... trying to print
Not necessarily. The machine must survive going to sleep while you are
printing. Any other error return than -ERESTARTSYS is not an option.
We can't simply change the ABI.
