From b5d68f84f4c62c78bc3d004911d80da5aa22df8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivas Pandruvada Date: Wed, 3 May 2023 16:38:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] thermal: intel: powerclamp: Fix NULL pointer access issue If cur_state for the powerclamp cooling device is set to the default minimum state of 0, without setting first to cur_state > 0, this results in NULL pointer access. This NULL pointer access happens in the powercap core idle-inject function idle_inject_set_duration() as there is no NULL check for idle_inject_device pointer. This pointer must be allocated by calling idle_inject_register() or idle_inject_register_full(). In the function powerclamp_set_cur_state(), idle_inject_device pointer is allocated only when the cur_state > 0. But setting 0 without changing to any other state, idle_inject_set_duration() will be called with a NULL idle_inject_device pointer. To address this, just return from powerclamp_set_cur_state() if the current cooling device state is the same as the last one. Since the power-up default cooling device state is 0, changing the state to 0 again here will return without calling idle_inject_set_duration().
