Subject: [PATCH] x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:17:54 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <500FB9C2.1030103@hitachi.com> (raw)
Hi,
In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not always cleared when
a CPU is offlined. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is
hotplugged again, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may
crash.
Commit f6175f5bfb4c partially fixes this, but was not enough in
environments with IOMMU IRQ remapper.
This bug can be reproduced as following;
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online
# modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash
This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in __fixup_irqs() when
the cpu is offlined.
