No, this is a regression without `-t`, and has to be fixed before SRU.
...
Without `-t`, loop_timeout == -1, which makes the new check pass/true.
(because `start` ~= `now` (seconds range), even for the theoretically
lowest possible value of `timeout` (zero; note it's not loop_timeout).
We need a gating `loop_timeout >= 0` check, as used in the inner loop.
- if (now.tv_sec + timeout > start + loop_timeout) {
+ if (loop_timeout >= 0 && now.tv_sec + timeout > start +
loop_timeout) {
...
While checking the code in detail, I was a bit concerned that,
in the first pass, the `prev = now` assignment in the inner loop
now takes the newly used `now` (this patch), not the one from before
the while loop.
However, that shouldn't matter much, as it's only used for time/delta
reporting (disabled in non-debug build; but just for correctness) and
even so, for the first pass the time difference between the first/start
`now` and that assignment in the new check doesn't seem to be significant.
...
That one line change worked fine in a quick test here.
Could you test that, by, I guess (sorry, I have to EOD):
... unpacking the source package from the unapproved queue
(dpkg-source -x *.dsc && cd klibc-*),
create a new patch with `quilt new ipconfig-timeout-fix-fix.patch`,
add file with `quilt add usr/kinit/ipconfig/main.c`,
change that file,
update patch with `quilt refresh`,
update changelog `DEB_EMAIL="Your Name <[email protected]>" TZ=UTC dch -l+test
'd/p/ipcfg-tmo-f-f.patch: Test fix'`
sudo apt build-dep -y klibc
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
Thanks!
