[PATCH] Off-by-one error for SIGXCPU / RLIMIT_CPU checking
There is a lonstanding off-by-one error that results from an incorrect comparison when checking whether a process has consumed CPU time in excess of its RLIMIT_CPU limits. This means, for example, that if we use setrlimit() to set the soft CPU limit (rlim_cur) to 5 seconds and the hard limit (rlim_max) to 10 seconds, then the process only receives a SIGXCPU signal after consuming 6 seconds of CPU time, and, if it continues consuming CPU after handling that signal, only receives SIGKILL after consuming 11 seconds of CPU time. The fix is trivial. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
