Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-10-21 18:15 - Updated: 2026-10-30 13:17
Severity
Summary
In 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
...
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff9911c8c8

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.
