From b0827819b0da4acfbc1df1e05edcf50efd07cbd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juri Lelli Date: Tue, 13 May 2014 14:11:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Restrict user params max value to 2^63 ns Michael Kerrisk noticed that creating SCHED_DEADLINE reservations with certain parameters (e.g, a runtime of something near 2^64 ns) can cause a system freeze for some amount of time. The problem is that in the interface we have u64 sched_runtime; while internally we need to have a signed runtime (to cope with budget overruns) s64 runtime; At the time we setup a new dl_entity we copy the first value in the second. The cast turns out with negative values when sched_runtime is too big, and this causes the scheduler to go crazy right from the start. Moreover, considering how we deal with deadlines wraparound (s64)(a - b) < 0 we also have to restrict acceptable values for sched_{deadline,period}. This patch fixes the thing checking that user parameters are always below 2^63 ns (still large enough for everyone). It also rewrites other conditions that we check, since in __checkparam_dl we don't have to deal with deadline wraparounds and what we have now erroneously fails when the difference between values is too big.
