msr_open tests for someone trying to open a device for a nonexistent CPU. However, the function always returns 0, not ret like it should, hence userspace can BUG the kernel trivially. This bug was introduced by the cdev lock_kernel pushdown patch last May. The BUG can be reproduced with these commands: # mknod fubar c 202 8 <-- pick a number less than NR_CPUS that is not the number of an online CPU # cat fubar Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
