Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] hwmon: (coretemp) Check for NULL platform device in hotplug callbacks
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 00:49:51 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114054940.3177143-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109202636-failed-5.10-0f9c7ed3b500@kernel.org>
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
[ Upstream commit 0f9c7ed3b5009a037e5533eac03a0d4d45ecf1f0 ]
coretemp_get_pdev() returns NULL when topology_logical_die_id(cpu) is
negative (such as -ENODEV or -ERANGE from topology_get_logical_id() on a
firmware/hardware APIC ID mismatch) or exceeds max_zones (for example,
under asymmetric or anomalous ACPI die topologies where
topology_max_packages() * topology_max_dies_per_package() is smaller
than the logical die count).
Commit 6d03bbff456b ("hwmon: (coretemp) Simplify platform device
handling") pre-allocated zone_devices[0 .. max_zones - 1] during module
init and dropped the NULL checks on pdev in coretemp_cpu_online() and
coretemp_cpu_offline(), passing pdev unconditionally to
platform_get_drvdata(). When coretemp_get_pdev() returns NULL,
platform_get_drvdata(pdev) dereferences &pdev->dev and triggers a kernel
NULL pointer dereference.
Check for a NULL pdev and return 0 in both coretemp_cpu_online() and
coretemp_cpu_offline() before calling platform_get_drvdata(). Returning
0 in coretemp_cpu_online() ignores the unmapped CPU without blocking CPU
bringup or tearing down valid thermal zones on other dies.
