[PATCH v4 2/5] x86: fix memory corruption in acpi_unmap_lsapic()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



if during CPU hotplug master CPU failed to wake up AP
it set percpu x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID=0xFFFF for AP.

However following attempt to unplug that CPU will lead to
out of bound write access to __apicid_to_node[] which is
32768 items long on x86_64 kernel.

So drop setting x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID in do_boot_cpu()
and allow acpi_processor_remove()->acpi_unmap_lsapic() cleanly
remove CPU.
