| |
3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
commit f4781e76f90df7aec400635d73ea4c35ee1d4765 upstream.
Andrey reported a alartimer related RCU stall while fuzzing the kernel with syzkaller.
The reason for this is an overflow in ktime_add() which brings the resulting time into negative space and causes immediate expiry of the timer. The following rearm with a small interval does not bring the timer back into positive space due to the same issue.
This results in a permanent firing alarmtimer which hogs the CPU.
Use ktime_add_safe() instead which detects the overflow and clamps the result to KTIME_SEC_MAX.
