Subject: [PATCH 2/9] tools/sched_ext: scx_flatcg: Validate the stats interval
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 20:49:54 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110125001.4167503-3-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110125001.4167503-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
The interval is parsed with strtod() and split into a timespec with a
float cast in the middle: a negative value produces a negative tv_sec
or tv_nsec (for -0.5 the seconds truncate to zero and the nanoseconds
go negative), and any value that doesn't survive the float round-trip
(e.g. 2^24 + 1) produces tv_nsec >= 1e9. Either way nanosleep()
returns EINVAL, which is never checked, and the stats loop starts
busy-spinning at 100% CPU instead of sampling at the requested
interval.
Reject negative intervals up front and compute the nsec part from the
double rather than through a float so the rounding hole is gone.
Fixes: a4103eacc2ab ("sched_ext: Add a cgroup scheduler which uses flattened hierarchy")
