Subject: [PATCH v2] Input: cros_ec_keyb - Fix an invalid memory access
Date: Tue,  4 Nov 2025 07:03:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251104070310.3212712-1-tzungbi@kernel.org> (raw)

If cros_ec_keyb_register_matrix() isn't called (due to
`buttons_switches_only`) in cros_ec_keyb_probe(), `ckdev->idev` remains
NULL.  An invalid memory access is observed in cros_ec_keyb_process()
when receiving an EC_MKBP_EVENT_KEY_MATRIX event in cros_ec_keyb_work()
in such case.

  Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000028
  ...
  x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : 0000000000000000
  x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000
  Call trace:
  input_event
  cros_ec_keyb_work
  blocking_notifier_call_chain
  ec_irq_thread

It's still unknown about why the kernel receives such malformed event,
in any cases, the kernel shouldn't access `ckdev->idev` and friends if
the driver doesn't intend to initialize them.
