Here is the BUG report by KASAN about null pointer dereference:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in strcmp+0x2e/0x50
Read of size 1 at addr 0000000000000000 by task python3/2640
Call Trace:
  strcmp
  __of_find_property
  of_find_property
  pinctrl_dt_to_map

kasprintf() would return NULL pointer when kmalloc() fail to allocate.
So directly return ENOMEM, if kasprintf() return NULL pointer.

Fixes: 57291ce295c0 ("pinctrl: core device tree mapping table parsing support")

Patch applied for fixes.

Interesting that you managed to locate this using *kasan* of all
things, it kind of requires that you manage to run out of memory
exactly at this time...

Linus Walleij

yes, actually it runs with *kasan* & companied with fault-inject into every single time.

Best regards,
