[PATCH, for 2.6.29] BUG 12911: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Mar 23 2009 - 15:39:20 EST


See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911

copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because
posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus
fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers.

This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not
optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu()
is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed.

The proper fix (I think) is:

- set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running
logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp

- posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed

- fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of
task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires)
