From 80a05b9ffa7dc13f6693902dd8999a2b61a3a0d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:34:14 +0100 Subject: clockevents: Sanitize min_delta_ns adjustment and prevent overflows The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows. Sanitize it by: - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data Reported-by: Uwe Kleine-Koenig Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- include/linux/clockchips.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/clockchips.h b/include/linux/clockchips.h index 0cf725bdd2a1..fc53492b6ad7 100644 --- a/include/linux/clockchips.h +++ b/include/linux/clockchips.h @@ -73,6 +73,7 @@ enum clock_event_nofitiers { * @list: list head for the management code * @mode: operating mode assigned by the management code * @next_event: local storage for the next event in oneshot mode + * @retries: number of forced programming retries */ struct clock_event_device { const char *name; @@ -93,6 +94,7 @@ struct clock_event_device { struct list_head list; enum clock_event_mode mode; ktime_t next_event; + unsigned long retries; }; /* -- cgit v1.2.2
