hey, could it be that this -513 is actually -ERESTARTNOINTR?
if so, that would be a good explanation why it hangs. - copy_process() checks for pending signals, then set retval = -ERESTARTNOINTR and returns. - handle_signal has the following code: case -ERESTARTNOINTR: regs->rax = regs->orig_rax; regs->rip -= 2; break; looks like it will keep trying to reenter the syscall forever, subtracting 2 from ip will restart the syscall. by some reason the signal is never really handled.
