timerfd: Remove an always true check

2014-08-27T09:17:48Z

We would have returned -EINVAL earlier if ticks wasn't set. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140801082848.GF28869@mwanda Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

timerfd: Use ktime_mono_to_real()

2014-07-23T17:18:02Z

We have a few other use cases of ktime_get_monotonic_offset() which can be optimized with ktime_mono_to_real(). The timerfd code uses the offset only for comparison, so we can use ktime_mono_to_real(0) for this as well. Funny enough text size shrinks with that on ARM and x8664 !?

timerfd: Implement timerfd_ioctl method to restore timerfd_ctx::ticks, v3

2014-07-18T09:49:57Z

The read() of timerfd files allows to fetch the number of timer ticks while there is no way to set it back from userspace. To restore the timer's state as it was at checkpoint moment we need a path to bring @ticks back. Initially I thought about writing ticks back via write() interface but it seems such API is somehow obscure. Instead implement timerfd_ioctl() method with TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS command which allows to adjust @ticks into non-zero value waking up the waiters. I wrapped code with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE which can be dropped off if there users except c/r camp appear. v2 (by akpm@): - Use define timerfd_ioctl NULL for non c/r config v3: - Use copy_from_user for @ticks fetching since not all arch support get_user for 8 byte argument Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Andrey Vagin Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Christopher Covington Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Vladimir Davydov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140715215703.285617923@openvz.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

timerfd: Implement show_fdinfo method

2014-07-18T09:49:57Z

For checkpoint/restore of timerfd files we need to know how exactly the timer were armed, to be able to recreate it on restore stage. Thus implement show_fdinfo method which provides enough information for that. One of significant changes I think is the addition of @settime_flags member. Currently there are two flags TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME and TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET, and the second can be found from @might_cancel variable but in case if the flags will be extended in future we most probably will have to somehow remember them explicitly anyway so I guss doing that right now won't hurt. To not bloat the timerfd_ctx structure I've converted @expired to short integer and defined @settime_flags as short too. v2 (by avagin@, vdavydov@ and tglx@): - Add it_value/it_interval fields - Save flags being used in timerfd_setup in context v3 (by tglx@): - don't forget to use CONFIG_PROC_FS v4 (by akpm@): -Use define timerfd_show NULL for non c/r config Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Andrey Vagin Cc: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Vladimir Davydov Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140715215703.114365649@openvz.org Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

compat: restore timerfd settime and gettime compat syscalls

2013-03-02T14:35:13Z

Both compat syscalls got lost with 9d94b9e2 "switch timerfd compat syscalls to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE" because of a typo: COMPAT instead of CONFIG_COMPAT. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Al Viro
