[PATCH] vsock: reject negative tv_usec in SO_VM_SOCKETS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
From: phind . uet
Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 02:46:40 EST
From: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@xxxxxxxxx>
The timeval validation checks tv_usec < USEC_PER_SEC but not
tv_usec >= 0, so a negative tv_usec makes the timeout computation
wrap into a bogus value, later tripping "schedule_timeout: wrong
timeout value" instead of being rejected.
Fixes: d021c344051a ("VSOCK: Introduce VM Sockets")
Signed-off-by: Nguyen Dinh Phi <phind.uet@xxxxxxxxx>
