Subject[RT PATCH 1/2] kernel/cpu_chill: use schedule_hrtimeout()
Date
cpu_chill() uses __hrtimer_nanosleep() with a hack to get
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state. It seems to work but it does not.
The problem is that we may have a signal pending and receive a sporadic
wake up _before_ the timer expires. At that point the code will look at
->restart_block and use it based on its value from the previous syscall
resulting in a possible copy-to-user.
Instead all this trouble, we could use schedule_hrtimeout() which is not
an user-space interface and does not have this side effects.
