From c5f8d99585d7b5b7e857fabf8aefd0174903a98c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hidetoshi Seto Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:56:03 +0900 Subject: posixtimers, sched: Fix posix clock monotonicity Impact: Regression fix (against clock_gettime() backwarding bug) This patch re-introduces a couple of functions, task_sched_runtime and thread_group_sched_runtime, which was once removed at the time of 2.6.28-rc1. These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with rq lock. This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during the sampling. i.e. The clock_gettime() may return ((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update)) that is less than what it should be. v2 -> v3: - Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec() to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has a __task_delta_exec() of different version. v1 -> v2: - Revises comments of function and patch description. - Add note about accuracy of thread group's runtime.
