Subject: [PATCH] HID: intel-ish-hid: fix NULL-ptr-deref in ishtp_bus_remove_all_clients
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 13:25:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130052544.4784-1-ryan.lin@intel.com> (raw)

During a warm reset flow, the cl->device pointer may be NULL if the
reset occurs while clients are still being enumerated. Accessing
cl->device->reference_count without a NULL check leads to a kernel panic.

This issue was identified during multi-unit warm reboot stress clycles.
Add a defensive NULL check for cl->device to ensure stability under
such intensive testing conditions.

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0000000000000000-0000000000000007]
Workqueue: ish_fw_update_wq fw_reset_work_fn

Call Trace:
 ishtp_bus_remove_all_clients+0xbe/0x130 [intel_ishtp]
 ishtp_reset_handler+0x85/0x1a0 [intel_ishtp]
 fw_reset_work_fn+0x8a/0xc0 [intel_ish_ipc]

Fixes: 3703f53b99e4a ("HID: intel_ish-hid: ISH Transport layer")
