Stefan Hajnoczi 5f8741fca5 aio-posix: fix spurious return from ->wait() due to signals
io_uring_enter(2) only returns -EINTR in some cases when interrupted by
a signal. Therefore the while loop in fdmon_io_uring_wait() is
incomplete and can lead to a spurious early return.

Handle the case when a signal interrupts io_uring_enter(2) but the
syscall returns the number of SQEs submitted (that takes priority over
-EINTR).

This patch probably makes little difference for QEMU, but the test suite
relies on the exact pattern of aio_poll() return values, so it's best to
hide this io_uring syscall interface quirk.

Here is the strace of test-aio receiving 3 SIGCONT signals after this
fix has been applied. Notice how the io_uring_enter(2) return value is 1
the first time because an SQE was submitted, but -EINTR the other times:

  eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 9
  io_uring_enter(7, 1, 0, 0, NULL, 8) = 1
  clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME, 0, {tv_sec=1, tv_nsec=0}, 0x7ffe38a46240) = 0
  io_uring_enter(7, 1, 1, IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS, NULL, 8) = 1
  --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=596096, si_uid=1000} ---
  io_uring_enter(7, 0, 1, IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS, NULL, 8) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
  --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=596096, si_uid=1000} ---
  io_uring_enter(7, 0, 1, IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS, NULL, 8 <unfinished ...>
  <... io_uring_enter resumed>) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
  --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=596096, si_uid=1000} ---
  io_uring_enter(7, 0, 1, IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS, NULL, 8 <unfinished ...>
  <... io_uring_enter resumed>) = 0
