Checked with a test program to confirm that the huge value of seconds in timespec correctly waits, and that negative or other invalid values fail with EINVAL (download from http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-io_getevents-timespec.c ). -ben -- "Thought is the essence of where you are now." commit 49b78150bc5762c58cfb8b19a859c354cf1a71ac Author: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 7 10:37:58 2016 -0500 aio: handle integer overflow in io_getevents() timespec usage Dmitry Vyukov reported an integer overflow in io_getevents() when running a fuzzer. Upon investigation, the triggers appears to be that an invalid value for the tv_sec or tv_nsec was passed in which is not handled by timespec_to_ktime(). This patch fixes that by making io_getevents() return -EINVAL when timespec_valid() checks fail. We use timespec_valid() instead of timespec_valid_strict() to avoid issues caused by userspace not knowing the cutoff for KTIME_SEC_MAX.
