Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: cppc_cpufreq: prevent crash on reading freqdomain_cpus
Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2022 15:03:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1660935837-7481-2-git-send-email-chris.hyser@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1660935837-7481-1-git-send-email-chris.hyser@oracle.com>

From: chris hyser <chris.hyser@oracle.com>

While running stress-ng --sysfs on an ARM system following a cpu offline,
we encountered the following NULL pointer dereference in the cppc_cpufreq
scaling driver:

[ 1003.576816] Call trace:
[ 1003.579255]  _find_next_bit+0x20/0xc8
[ 1003.582909]  cpufreq_show_cpus+0x78/0xf4
[ 1003.586830]  show_freqdomain_cpus+0x20/0x30 [cppc_cpufreq]
[ 1003.592318]  show+0x4c/0x78
[ 1003.595104]  sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x9

This is the exact issue described in commit e25303676e18 ("cpufreq:
acpi_cpufreq: prevent crash on reading freqdomain_cpus") with the fix
described there also solving this issue. I tracked the root cause to the
following: a scaling driver which provides a struct freq_attr sysfs
attributes array passed via struct cpufreq_driver during driver
registration, has .init() and .exit() functions and does _not_ provide
.online()/.offline() routines. cpufreq core creates the attributes, but
does not remove them even though .exit() frees the underlying memory. The
core functions and most drivers have corresponding NULL data pointer
checks.
