CVE-2026-53314

Description

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

padata: Put CPU offline callback in ONLINE section to allow failure

syzbot reported the following warning:

DEAD callback error for CPU1 WARNING: kernel/cpu.c:1463 at _cpu_down+0x759/0x1020 kernel/cpu.c:1463, CPU#0: syz.0.1960/14614

at commit 4ae12d8bd9a8 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux") which tglx traced to padata_cpu_dead() given it's the only sub-CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback that returns an error.

Failure isn't allowed in hotplug states before CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU so move the CPU offline callback to the ONLINE section where failure is possible.
