CVE-2025-40163
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: Stop dl_server before CPU goes offline
IBM CI tool reported kernel warning[1] when running a CPU removal operation through drmgr[2]. i.e "drmgr -c cpu -r -q 1"
Git bisects to: commit 4ae8d9aa9f9d ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server getting stuck")
This happens since: - dl_server hrtimer gets enqueued close to cpu offline, when kthread_park enqueues a fair task. - CPU goes offline and drmgr removes it from cpu_present_mask. - hrtimer fires and warning is hit.
Fix it by stopping the dl_server before CPU is marked dead.
