Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: cpufreq: reject NULL from cpufreq_cpu_get()
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 19:16:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828161834.29539-1-mehmet.mkoseoglu@gmail.com> (raw)
cpufreq_cpu_get() returns either a referenced policy or NULL.
PolicyCpu::from_cpu() passed its return value to from_err_ptr(), which
rejects ERR_PTR values but accepts NULL.
If the lookup fails, Policy::from_raw_mut() therefore constructs a mutable
reference from NULL. Dropping the resulting PolicyCpu then passes the
invalid pointer to cpufreq_cpu_put(), causing an oops in kobject_put().
Reject NULL with NonNull before constructing the Policy reference. Return
ENODEV instead.
A KUnit negative-control run reproduced the oops with the original
conversion. The same test passed with this change. The reproducer is
available on request.
Fixes: 6ebdd7c93177 ("rust: cpufreq: Extend abstractions for policy and driver ops")
