Description

The POSIX standard states that when timer_settime has timeout specified for a time that has already occurred, the expiration notification should be made immediately, and the call should succeed.

The RTEMS HEAD implementation has a specific test for this case (for TIMER_ABSTIME which incorrectly rejects the timeout with an error. This should be modified to conform to the standard.

Note that there is no test for a relative timeout in the past; this is passed straight to the watchdog routines. The 4.8 branch also lacks a check for both absolute and relative timers.


This bug report covers an issue first described on bug report 1296.
