Subject[PATCH] sched/core: Test online status in available_idle_cpu()
Date
The current implementation of available_idle_cpu() doesn't test
whether a possible cpu is offline. On s390 this dereferences a
NULL pointer in arch_vcpu_is_preempted() because lowcore is not
allocated for offline cpus. On x86, tracing also shows calls to
available_idle_cpu() after a cpu is disabled, but it looks like
this isn't causing any (obvious) issue. Nevertheless, add a check
and return early if the cpu isn't online.
