David Howells b960a34b73 rxrpc: Allow the kernel to mark a call as being non-interruptible
Allow kernel services using AF_RXRPC to indicate that a call should be
non-interruptible.  This allows kafs to make things like lock-extension and
writeback data storage calls non-interruptible.

If this is set, signals will be ignored for operations on that call where
possible - such as waiting to get a call channel on an rxrpc connection.

It doesn't prevent UDP sendmsg from being interrupted, but that will be
handled by packet retransmission.

rxrpc_kernel_recv_data() isn't affected by this since that never waits,
preferring instead to return -EAGAIN and leave the waiting to the caller.

Userspace initiated calls can't be set to be uninterruptible at this time.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
