sched: Introduce SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK scheduling policy flag ...
This patch introduces a new flag SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK which can be passed
to the kernel via sched_setscheduler(), ORed in the policy parameter. If
set this will make sure that when the process forks a) the scheduling
priority is reset to DEFAULT_PRIO if it was higher and b) the scheduling
policy is reset to SCHED_NORMAL if it was either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR.
Why have this?
Currently, if a process is real-time scheduled this will 'leak' to all
its child processes. For security reasons it is often (always?) a good
idea to make sure that if a process acquires RT scheduling this is
confined to this process and only this process. More specifically this
makes the per-process resource limit RLIMIT_RTTIME useful for security
purposes, because it makes it impossible to use a fork bomb to
circumvent the per-process RLIMIT_RTTIME accounting.
This feature is also useful for tools like 'renice' which can then
change the nice level of a process without having this spill to all its
child processes.
Why expose this via sched_setscheduler() and not other syscalls such as
prctl() or sched_setparam()?
prctl() does not take a pid parameter. Due to that it would be
impossible to modify this flag for other processes than the current one.
The struct passed to sched_setparam() can unfortunately not be extended
without breaking compatibility, since sched_setparam() lacks a size
parameter.
How to use this from userspace? In your RT program simply replace this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO, ¶m);
by this:
sched_setscheduler(pid, SCHED_FIFO|SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK, ¶m);
