sched: add new API sched_setscheduler_nocheck: add a flag to control access checks
Hidehiro Kawai noticed that sched_setscheduler() can fail in stop_machine: it calls sched_setscheduler() from insmod, which can have CAP_SYS_MODULE without CAP_SYS_NICE. Two cases could have failed, so are changed to sched_setscheduler_nocheck: kernel/softirq.c:cpu_callback() - CPU hotplug callback kernel/stop_machine.c:__stop_machine_run() - Called from various places, including modprobe() Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@hitachi.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: sugita <yumiko.sugita.yf@hitachi.com> Cc: Satoshi OSHIMA <satoshi.oshima.fk@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
