Subject[PATCH] sched: fix sched_setparam() policy=-1 logic
Date
The scheduler uses policy=-1 to preserve the current policy state to
implement sched_setparam(). But, as (int) -1 is equals to 0xffffffff,
it's matching the if (policy & SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK) on
_sched_setscheduler(). This match changes the policy value to an
invalid value, breaking the sched_setparam() syscall.

This patch checks policy=-1 before check the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag.

The following program shows the bug:

int main(void)
{
struct sched_param param = {
.sched_priority = 5,
};

sched_setscheduler(0, SCHED_FIFO, &param);
param.sched_priority = 1;
sched_setparam(0, &param);
param.sched_priority = 0;
sched_getparam(0, &param);
if (param.sched_priority != 1)
printf("failed priority setting (found %d instead of 1)\n",
param.sched_priority);
else
printf("priority setting fine\n");
}
