sched: Fix sched_setparam() policy == -1 logic
The scheduler uses policy == -1 to preserve the current policy state to implement sched_setparam(). But, as (int) -1 is equals to 0xffffffff, it's matching the if (policy & SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK) on _sched_setscheduler(). This match changes the policy value to an invalid value, breaking the sched_setparam() syscall. This patch checks policy == -1 before check the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag. The following program shows the bug: int main(void) { struct sched_param param = { .sched_priority = 5, }; sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m); param.sched_priority = 1; sched_setparam(0, ¶m); param.sched_priority = 0; sched_getparam(0, ¶m); if (param.sched_priority != 1) printf("failed priority setting (found %d instead of 1)\n", param.sched_priority); else printf("priority setting fine\n"); } Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.14+ Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 7479f3c9 "sched: Move SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK into attr::sched_flags" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ebe0566a08dbbb3999759d3f20d6004bb2dbcfa.1406079891.git.bristot@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
