From ef6f20ce47613db7cc615b45f4b6fa1eb99ae0ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warner Losh Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2023 20:04:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tail: Retry kevent if the system call was interrupted kevent returns EINTR when I suspend / resume. This causes tail -f and tail -F to exit with interrupt system call. Ignore this error and try kevent again.
