From 37bebc70d7ad4144c571d74500db3bb26ec0c0eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:34:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] posix timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork() See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911 copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers. This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu() is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed. The proper fix (I think) is: - set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp - posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed - fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires) Reported-by: Peter Lojkin Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: [for 2.6.29.x] LKML-Reference: <20090323193411.GA17514@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c b/kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c index e976e505648..8e5d9a68b02 100644 --- a/kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c +++ b/kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c @@ -1370,7 +1370,8 @@ static inline int fastpath_timer_check(struct task_struct *tsk) if (task_cputime_expired(&group_sample, &sig->cputime_expires)) return 1; } - return 0; + + return sig->rlim[RLIMIT_CPU].rlim_cur != RLIM_INFINITY; } /* -- 2.41.1
