[ Upstream commit f95091536f78971b269ec321b057b8d630b0ad8a ] It is possible for sched_getattr() to incorrectly report the state of the reset_on_fork flag when called on a deadline task. Indeed, if the flag was set on a deadline task using sched_setattr() with flags (SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK | SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS), then p->sched_reset_on_fork will be set, but __setscheduler() will bail out early, which means that the dl_se->flags will not get updated by __setscheduler_params()->__setparam_dl(). Consequently, if sched_getattr() is then called on the task, __getparam_dl() will override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se->flags and report the stale value to userspace. To fix this, make sure to only copy the flags that are relevant to sched_deadline to and from the dl_se->flags field.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
