Subject: CVE-2025-39895: sched: Fix sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() if mask offline

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

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

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

sched: Fix sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() if mask offline

sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() uses a bsearch to look for the 'closest'
CPU in sched_domains_numa_masks and given cpus mask. However they
might not intersect if all CPUs in the cpus mask are offline. bsearch
will return NULL in that case, bail out instead of dereferencing a
bogus pointer.

The previous behaviour lead to this bug when using maxcpus=4 on an
rk3399 (LLLLbb) (i.e. booting with all big CPUs offline):

Yury: with the fix, the function returns cpu == nr_cpu_ids, and later in

	smp_call_function_any ->
	  smp_call_function_single ->
	     generic_exec_single

we test the cpu for '>= nr_cpu_ids' and return -ENXIO. So everything is
handled correctly.

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:
