x86/ioapic: Fix NULL pointer dereference on CPU hotplug after disabling irqs
In current Linux, percpu variable `vector_irq' is not cleared on offlined cpus while disabling devices' irqs. If the cpu that has the disabled irqs in vector_irq is hotplugged, __setup_vector_irq() hits invalid irq vector and may crash. This bug can be reproduced as following; # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # modprobe -r some_driver_using_interrupts # vector_irq@cpu7 uncleared # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/online # kernel may crash This patch fixes this bug by clearing vector_irq in __clear_irq_vector() even if the cpu is offlined.
