Message-ID: <4694A95A.85155DAE@nl.thalesgroup.com> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 11:56:42 +0200 From: greenuser <greenuser@...thalesgroup.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: posix lock_timer fails on tgid invalid Hello, On my uClinux nios platform I discovered the following bug: Suppose the application has a thread, and in this thread the timer_create function is called Next in the main thread the timer_settime function is called. Now, this function will always fail, in sys_settime a lock_timer function is called. This lock_timer function checks that timr->it_process->tgid equals current->tgid else the function fails. With two threads in the application, this check always fails!!! Note: the same code works fine on a desktop linux system. I already reported this bug to the uClinux forum and the nios forum for a month. So far, without any response. Why is the check on tgid needed and why does it fail?
