Subject: [PATCH] rcu/nocb: Fix possible invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer access
Date: Wed,  7 May 2025 19:26:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250507112605.20910-3-qiang.zhang1211@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250507112605.20910-1-qiang.zhang1211@gmail.com>

In the preparation stage of CPU online, if the corresponding
the rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread does not exist, will be created,
there is a situation where the rdp's rcuop kthreads creation fails,
and then de-offload this CPU's rdp, does not assign this CPU's
rdp->nocb_cb_kthread pointer, but this rdp's->nocb_gp_rdp and
rdp's->rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread is still valid.

This will cause the subsequent re-offload operation of this offline
CPU, which will pass the conditional check and the kthread_unpark()
will access invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer.

This commit therefore use rdp's->nocb_gp_kthread instead of
rdp_gp's->nocb_gp_kthread for safety check.
