Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 13:39:04 -0700 From: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...ts.ubuntu.com Cc: John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>, Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com>, Sharvil Nanavati <sharvil@...gle.com>, Kamal Mostafa <kamal@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.13 121/259] alarmtimer: Fix bug where relative alarm timers were treated as absolute 3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org> commit 16927776ae757d0d132bdbfabbfe2c498342bd59 upstream. Sharvil noticed with the posix timer_settime interface, using the CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM or CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM clockid, if the users tried to specify a relative time timer, it would incorrectly be treated as absolute regardless of the state of the flags argument. This patch corrects this, properly checking the absolute/relative flag, as well as adds further error checking that no invalid flag bits are set.
