In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq
After a CPU has set itself offline and before it eventually calls
rcutree_report_cpu_dead(), there are still opportunities for callbacks
to be enqueued, for example from a softirq. When that happens on NOCB,
the rcuog wake-up is deferred through an IPI to an online CPU in order
not to call into the scheduler and risk arming the RT-bandwidth after
hrtimers have been migrated out and disabled.
But performing a synchronized IPI from a softirq is buggy as reported in
the following scenario:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 26 at kernel/smp.c:633 smp_call_function_single
Modules linked in: rcutorture torture
CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 26 Comm: migration/1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc1-00012-g9139f93209d1 #1
Stopper: multi_cpu_stop+0x0/0x320 <- __stop_cpus+0xd0/0x120
RIP: 0010:smp_call_function_single
<IRQ>

call_timer_fn
__run_timers

handle_softirqs

? tick_handle_periodic
sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt
</IRQ>
Fix this with forcing deferred rcuog wake up through the NOCB timer when
the CPU is offline. The actual wake up will happen from
rcutree_report_cpu_dead().
