Revision 90e362f4a75d0911ca75e5cd95591a6cf1f169dc authored by Thomas Gleixner on 23 November 2014, 22:04:52 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 November 2014, 22:14:40 UTC
Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to commit 6e998916dfe3 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime() inconsistency'. Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he started fork bombs on his machine. He assumed that this is a new exit race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit. What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task. While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths which invoke task_sched_runtime() do_task_stat(() thread_group_cputime_adjusted() thread_group_cputime() task_cputime() task_sched_runtime() if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) { update_rq_clock(rq); up->sched_class->update_curr(rq); } If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer of stop_task->update_curr. Ooops. Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so the probability to hit the issue will increase. Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task and idle_task. While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have other means to hit the idle case.

* INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX

* 03/02/96 Jes Sorensen, Andreas Schwab, Roman Hodek:
* Fixed some nasty bugs, causing some horrible crashes.
* A: At some points, the sum (%0) was used as
* length-counter instead of the length counter
* (%1). Thanks to Roman Hodek for pointing this out.
* B: GCC seems to mess up if one uses too many
* data-registers to hold input values and one tries to
* specify d0 and d1 as scratch registers. Letting gcc
* choose these registers itself solves the problem.
