-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Oleg Nesterov upstream commit: 8f2e586567b1bad72dac7c3810fe9a2ef7117506 update_rlimit_cpu() tries to optimize out set_process_cpu_timer() in case when we already have CPUCLOCK_PROF timer which should expire first. But it uses cputime_lt() instead of cputime_gt(). Test case: int main(void) { struct itimerval it = { .it_value = { .tv_sec = 1000 }, }; assert(!setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &it, NULL)); struct rlimit rl = { .rlim_cur = 1, .rlim_max = 1, }; assert(!setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, &rl)); for (;;) ; return 0; } Without this patch, the task is not killed as RLIMIT_CPU demands.
