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:
