Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] powercap: dtpm_cpu: Guard em_cpu_get() against NULL return in sysfs callbacks
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 23:31:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624203147.67528-1-sivany32@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611204658.47987-1-elazarl@gmail.com>

From: Sivan Zohar-Kotzer <sivany32@gmail.com>

em_cpu_get() can return NULL when a CPU becomes impossible. Two call
sites miss the NULL test:

1. set_pd_power_limit() — reachable from sysfs via the powercap
   constraint power_limit_uw store path. If the CPU has become
   impossible then pd will be NULL, return the current power limit
   unchanged (no-op) instead of crashing.

2. update_pd_power_uw() — called from CPU hotplug handlers via
   dtpm_update_power(). While reaching this with a NULL em may be
   technically impossible today, the check is kept for defense in
   depth against future refactoring or subtle races.

The other sysfs-reachable path, get_pd_power_uw(), already has a NULL
guard returning 0.
