[ Upstream commit 5496295aefe86995e41398b0f76de601308fc3f5 ]
We currently allow signals to interrupt the wait for management FW
commands. Exiting the wait should not cause trouble, the FW will
just finish executing the command in the background and new commands
will wait for the old one to finish.
However, this may not be what users expect (Ctrl-C not actually stopping
the command). Moreover some systems routinely request link information
with signals pending (Ubuntu 14.04 runs a landscape-sysinfo python tool
from MOTD) worrying users with errors like these:
nfp 0000:04:00.0: nfp_nsp: Error -512 waiting for code 0x0007 to start
nfp 0000:04:00.0: nfp: reading port table failed -512
Make the wait for management FW responses non-interruptible.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
