[PATCH] x86: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disablingirqs

From: Tomoki Sekiyama
Date: Mon May 28 2012 - 05:30:05 EST


In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on offlined
cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs
in vector_irq is hotplugged, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector
and may crash.

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 __clear_irq_vector()
even if the cpu is offlined.
