Subject: CVE-2024-49935: ACPI: PAD: fix crash in exit_round_robin()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: PAD: fix crash in exit_round_robin()

The kernel occasionally crashes in cpumask_clear_cpu(), which is called
within exit_round_robin(), because when executing clear_bit(nr, addr) with
nr set to 0xffffffff, the address calculation may cause misalignment within
the memory, leading to access to an invalid memory address.

----------

To fix this, ensure that tsk_in_cpu[tsk_index] != -1 before calling
cpumask_clear_cpu() in exit_round_robin(), just as it is done in
round_robin_cpu().

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
