From: Matteo Croce mcroce@microsoft.com Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 22:52:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] reboot: fix overflow parsing reboot cpu number
Limit the CPU number to num_possible_cpus(), because setting it to a value lower than INT_MAX but higher than NR_CPUS produces the following error on reboot and shutdown:
