Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/timerlat: Fix a race during cpuhp processing
There is another found exception that the "timerlat/1" thread was scheduled on CPU0, and lead to timer corruption finally:
ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888237c2e108 object type: hrtimer hint: timerlat_irq+0x0/0x220

</TASK>
After tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration of the "timerlat/1" thread was performed during thread creation. Further analysis confirmed that it is because the CPU online processing for osnoise is implemented through workers, which is asynchronous with the offline processing. When the worker was scheduled to create a thread, the CPU may has already been removed from the cpu_online_mask during the offline process, resulting in the inability to select the right CPU:
T1 | T2 [CPUHP_ONLINE] | cpu_device_down() osnoise_hotplug_workfn() | | cpus_write_lock() | takedown_cpu(1) | cpus_write_unlock() [CPUHP_OFFLINE] | cpus_read_lock() | start_kthread(1) | cpus_read_unlock() |
To fix this, skip online processing if the CPU is already offline.
