From 68a7389830b451a9dc1de49d3dff4e70dacc0f8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 14:32:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep durations audit_log_start() performs the same jiffies comparison in two places. If sufficient time has elapsed between the two comparisons, the second one produces a negative sleep duration: schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value fffffffffffffff0 Pid: 6606, comm: trinity-child1 Not tainted 3.8.0-rc1+ #43 Call Trace: schedule_timeout+0x305/0x340 audit_log_start+0x311/0x470 audit_log_exit+0x4b/0xfb0 __audit_syscall_exit+0x25f/0x2c0 sysret_audit+0x17/0x21 Fix it by performing the comparison a single time.
