Subject: [PATCH] sched: Don't allow setuid to succeed if the user does not have rt bandwidth
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:13:54 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090227094354.GA6444@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <49A44A86.2030409@nortel.com>


Corey Hickey reported that on using setuid to change the uid of a
rt process, the process would be unkillable and not be running.
This is because there was no rt runtime for that user group. Add
in a check to see if a user can attach an rt task to its task group.
On failure, return EINVAL, which is also returned in
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED.
