18 years ago[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timers sched_time accumulation
David S. Miller [Fri, 6 Jan 2006 23:36:48 +0000 (15:36 -0800)]
[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timers sched_time accumulation

I've spent the past 3 days digging into a glibc testsuite failure in
current CVS, specifically libc/rt/tst-cputimer1.c The thr1 and thr2
timers fire too early in the second pass of this test.  The second
pass is noteworthy because it makes use of intervals, whereas the
first pass does not.

All throughout the posix-cpu-timers.c code, the calculation of the
process sched_time sum is implemented roughly as:

unsigned long long sum;

sum = tsk->signal->sched_time;
t = tsk;
do {
sum += t->sched_time;
t = next_thread(t);
} while (t != tsk);

In fact this is the exact scheme used by check_process_timers().

In the case of check_process_timers(), current->sched_time has just
been updated (via scheduler_tick(), which is invoked by
update_process_times(), which subsequently invokes
run_posix_cpu_timers()) So there is no special processing necessary
wrt. that.

In other contexts, we have to allot for the fact that tsk->sched_time
might be a bit out of date if we are current.  And the
posix-cpu-timers.c code uses current_sched_time() to deal with that.

Unfortunately it does so in an erroneous and inconsistent manner in
one spot which is what results in the early timer firing.

In cpu_clock_sample_group_locked(), it does this:

cpu->sched = p->signal->sched_time;
/* Add in each other live thread.  */
while ((t = next_thread(t)) != p) {
cpu->sched += t->sched_time;
}
if (p->tgid == current->tgid) {
/*
 * We're sampling ourselves, so include the
 * cycles not yet banked.  We still omit
 * other threads running on other CPUs,
 * so the total can always be behind as
 * much as max(nthreads-1,ncpus) * (NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ).
 */
cpu->sched += current_sched_time(current);
} else {
cpu->sched += p->sched_time;
}

The problem is the "p->tgid == current->tgid" test.  If "p" is
not current, and the tgids are the same, we will add the process
t->sched_time twice into cpu->sched and omit "p"'s sched_time
which is very very very wrong.

posix-cpu-timers.c has a helper function, sched_ns(p) which takes care
of this, so my fix is to use that here instead of this special tgid
test.

The fact that current can be one of the sub-threads of "p" points out
that we could make things a little bit more accurate, perhaps by using
sched_ns() on every thread we process in these loops.  It also points
out that we don't use the most accurate value for threads in the group
actively running other cpus (and this is mentioned in the comment).

But that is a future enhancement, and this fix here definitely makes
sense.

Shaun Pereira [Fri, 6 Jan 2006 21:11:35 +0000 (13:11 -0800)]
[X25]: Fix for broken x25 module.

When a user-space server application calls bind on a socket, then in kernel
space this bound socket is considered 'x25-linked' and the SOCK_ZAPPED flag
is unset.(As in x25_bind()/af_x25.c).

Now when a user-space client application attempts to connect to the server
on the listening socket, if the kernel accepts this in-coming call, then it
returns a new socket to userland and attempts to reply to the caller.

The reply/x25_sendmsg() will fail, because the new socket created on
call-accept has its SOCK_ZAPPED flag set by x25_make_new().
(sock_init_data() called by x25_alloc_socket() called by x25_make_new()
sets the flag to SOCK_ZAPPED)).

Fix: Using the sock_copy_flag() routine available in sock.h fixes this.

Tested on 32 and 64 bit kernels with x25 over tcp.

NFSv4: Remove requirement for machine creds for the "renew" operation

 In RFC3530, the RENEW operation is allowed to use either

 the same principal, RPC security flavour and (if RPCSEC_GSS), the same
  mechanism and service that was used for SETCLIENTID_CONFIRM

 OR

 Any principal, RPC security flavour and service combination that
