Surely it is not correct. Another attempt ...
[PATCH 4/4] sched_setscheduler: fix? policy checks
I am not sure this patch is correct: I can't understand what the current
code does, and I don't know what it was supposed to do.
The comment says:
* can't change policy, except between SCHED_NORMAL
* and SCHED_BATCH:
The code:
if (((policy != SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy != SCHED_BATCH) &&
(policy != SCHED_BATCH && p->policy != SCHED_NORMAL)) &&
But this is equivalent to:
if ( (is_rt_policy(policy) && has_rt_policy(p)) &&
which means something different. We can't _decrease_ the current ->rt_priority
with such a check (if rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0).
Probably, it was supposed to be:
if ( !(policy == SCHED_NORMAL && p->policy == SCHED_BATCH) &&
!(policy == SCHED_BATCH && p->policy == SCHED_NORMAL)
this matches the comment, but strange: it doesn't allow to _drop_ the
realtime priority when rlim[RLIMIT_RTPRIO] == 0.
I think the right check would be:
/* can't set/change rt policy */
if (is_rt_policy(policy) &&
policy != p->policy &&
!rlim_rtprio)
return -EPERM;
