Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 18:30 – Updated: 2025-01-02 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Fix access non-existent percpu rtpcp variable in rcu_tasks_need_gpcb()
For kernels built with CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, the nr_cpu_ids is defined as NR_CPUS instead of the number of possible cpus, this will cause the following system panic:
smpboot: Allowing 4 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs ... setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:512 nr_cpumask_bits:512 nr_cpu_ids:512 nr_node_ids:1 ...

Considering that there may be holes in the CPU numbers, use the maximum possible cpu number, instead of nr_cpu_ids, for configuring enqueue and dequeue limits.
