Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
sched/deadline: Stop dl_server before CPU goes offline<br />
<br />
IBM CI tool reported kernel warning[1] when running a CPU removal<br />
operation through drmgr[2]. i.e "drmgr -c cpu -r -q 1"<br />
<br />
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/cpudeadline.c:219 cpudl_set+0x58/0x170<br />

<br />
Git bisects to: commit 4ae8d9aa9f9d ("sched/deadline: Fix dl_server getting stuck")<br />
<br />
This happens since:<br />
- dl_server hrtimer gets enqueued close to cpu offline, when<br />
kthread_park enqueues a fair task.<br />
- CPU goes offline and drmgr removes it from cpu_present_mask.<br />
- hrtimer fires and warning is hit.<br />
<br />
Fix it by stopping the dl_server before CPU is marked dead.<br />
