Subject: [PATCH v2] timer: prevent overflow in apply_slack
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:23:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140418152310.GA13654@midget.suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <alpine.DEB.2.02.1404172344420.22697@ionos.tec.linutronix.de>

On architectures with sizeof(int) < sizeof (long), the
computation of mask inside apply_slack() can be undefined if the
computed bit is > 32.

E.g. with: expires = 0xffffe6f5 and slack = 25, we get:

expires_limit = 0x20000000e
bit = 33
mask = (1 << 33) - 1  /* undefined */

On x86, mask becomes 1 and and the slack is not applied properly.
On s390, mask is -1, expires is set to 0 and the timer fires immediately.
