Subject: [PATCH 1/6] posix-cpu-timers: Fix rearm racing against process tick
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 13:31:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210604113159.26177-2-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210604113159.26177-1-frederic@kernel.org>
Since the process wide cputime counter is started locklessly from
posix_cpu_timer_rearm(), it can be concurrently stopped by operations
on other timers from the same thread group, such as in the following
unlucky scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
timer_settime(TIMER B)
posix_cpu_timer_rearm(TIMER A)
cpu_clock_sample_group()
(pct->timers_active already true)
handle_posix_cpu_timers()
check_process_timers()
stop_process_timers()
pct->timers_active = false
arm_timer(TIMER A)
tick -> run_posix_cpu_timers()
// sees !pct->timers_active, ignore
// our TIMER A
Fix this with simply locking process wide cputime counting start and
timer arm in the same block.
