[PATCH] sunrpc: Fix incorrect parsing of expiry time

From: Jerry Zhang
Date: Tue Mar 07 2023 - 17:05:57 EST


The expiry time field is mean to be expressed in seconds since boot.
The get_expiry() function parses a relative time value in seconds.
In order to get the absolute time of seconds since boot that the given
message will expire, the right thing is to add seconds_since_boot()
to the given relative value.

Previously this logic was subtracting boot.tv_sec from the relative
value, which was causing some confusing behavior. The return type of
time64_t could possibly underflow if time since boot is greater than
the passed in relative argument. Also several checks in nfs code compare
the return value to 0 to indicate failure, and this could spuriously
be tripped if seconds since boot happened to match the argument.

Fixes: c5b29f885afe ("sunrpc: use seconds since boot in expiry cache")
