[ Upstream commit 3c2214b6027ff37945799de717c417212e1a8c54 ]
Removing the pcrypt module triggers this:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
address 0xdead000000000122
CPU: 5 PID: 264 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 5.6.0+ #2
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC
RIP: 0010:__cpuhp_state_remove_instance+0xcc/0x120
Call Trace:
padata_sysfs_release+0x74/0xce
kobject_put+0x81/0xd0
padata_free+0x12/0x20
pcrypt_exit+0x43/0x8ee [pcrypt]
padata instances wrongly use the same hlist node for the online and dead
states, so __padata_free()'s second cpuhp remove call chokes on the node
that the first poisoned.
cpuhp multi-instance callbacks only walk forward in cpuhp_step->list and
the same node is linked in both the online and dead lists, so the list
corruption that results from padata_alloc() adding the node to a second
list without removing it from the first doesn't cause problems as long
as no instances are freed.
Avoid the issue by giving each state its own node.
Fixes: 894c9ef9780c ("padata: validate cpumask without removed CPU during offline")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
