Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Sean Christopherson <> | Subject | [PATCH] x86/apic/x2apic: Fix a NULL pointer deref when handling a dying cpu | Date | Tue, 1 Oct 2019 13:50:19 -0700 |
| |
Check that the per-cpu cluster mask pointer has been set prior to clearing a dying cpu's bit. The per-cpu pointer is not set until the target cpu reaches smp_callin() during CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU, whereas the teardown function, x2apic_dead_cpu(), is associated with the earlier CPUHP_X2APIC_PREPARE. If an error occurs before the cpu is awakened, e.g. if do_boot_cpu() itself fails, x2apic_dead_cpu() will dereference the NULL pointer and cause a panic.

The do_boot_cpu() -EINVAL failure is due to unrelated code that isn't in mainline, i.e. there is no underlying bug that needs to be investigated.
