From 961ccddd59d627b89bd3dc284b6517833bbdf25d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:55:38 +1000 Subject: sched: add new API sched_setscheduler_nocheck: add a flag to control access checks Hidehiro Kawai noticed that sched_setscheduler() can fail in stop_machine: it calls sched_setscheduler() from insmod, which can have CAP_SYS_MODULE without CAP_SYS_NICE. Two cases could have failed, so are changed to sched_setscheduler_nocheck: kernel/softirq.c:cpu_callback() - CPU hotplug callback kernel/stop_machine.c:__stop_machine_run() - Called from various places, including modprobe() Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Hidehiro Kawai Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: sugita Cc: Satoshi OSHIMA Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/softirq.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'kernel/softirq.c') diff --git a/kernel/softirq.c b/kernel/softirq.c index 36e061740047..afd9120c2fc4 100644 --- a/kernel/softirq.c +++ b/kernel/softirq.c @@ -645,7 +645,7 @@ static int __cpuinit cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, p = per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu); per_cpu(ksoftirqd, hotcpu) = NULL; - sched_setscheduler(p, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m); + sched_setscheduler_nocheck(p, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m); kthread_stop(p); takeover_tasklets(hotcpu); break; -- cgit v1.2.3
