While reading w83627ehf sensors output on D425KT mainboard, I consistently get NULL dereference as below. 5.5.0 worked OK but gave a warning on driver load: [ 104.514954] w83627ehf: Found W83627DHG-P chip at 0x290 [ 104.515634] w83627ehf w83627ehf.656: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info(). This is dmesg from current git (loading the driver and reading sensors with lm-sensors - no driver loading warning any more): [ 764.718192] w83627ehf: Found W83627DHG-P chip at 0x290 [ 774.574874] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 774.574889] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 774.574895] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 774.574901] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 774.574909] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 774.574917] CPU: 0 PID: 604 Comm: sensors Not tainted 5.6.0-rc2-00055-gca7e1fd1026c #29 [ 774.574923] Hardware name: /D425KT, BIOS MWPNT10N.86A.0132.2013.0726.1534 07/26/2013 [ 774.574939] RIP: 0010:w83627ehf_read_string+0x27/0x70 [w83627ehf] [ 774.574947] Code: 00 00 00 55 53 48 8d 64 24 f0 83 fa 15 48 8b 5f 78 75 29 83 fe 01 75 24 48 63 c9 48 8b 6b 58 48 83 f9 03 77 24 0f b6 44 0b 50 <48> 8b 44 c5 00 49 89 00 48 8d 64 24 10 5b 31 c0 5d c3 48 8d 64 24 [ 774.574958] RSP: 0018:ffffb95980657df8 EFLAGS: 00010293 [ 774.574965] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff96caaa7f5218 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 774.574972] RDX: 0000000000000015 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff96caa736ec08 [ 774.574978] RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffffb95980657e20 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 774.574985] R10: ffff96caaa635cc0 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff96caa9f7cf00 [ 774.574991] R13: ffff96caa9ec3d00 R14: ffff96caa9ec3d28 R15: ffff96caa9ec3d40 [ 774.574999] FS: 00007fbc7c4e2740(0000) GS:ffff96caabc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 774.575008] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 774.575015] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000129d58000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 774.575021] Call Trace: [ 774.575036] ? cp_new_stat+0x12d/0x160 [ 774.575048] hwmon_attr_show_string+0x37/0x70 [hwmon] [ 774.575060] dev_attr_show+0x14/0x50 [ 774.575071] sysfs_kf_seq_show+0xb5/0x1b0 [ 774.575081] seq_read+0xcf/0x460 [ 774.575091] vfs_read+0x9b/0x150 [ 774.575100] ksys_read+0x5f/0xe0 [ 774.575111] do_syscall_64+0x48/0x190 [ 774.575121] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 [ 774.575130] RIP: 0033:0x7fbc7c715871 [ 774.575138] Code: fe ff ff 50 48 8d 3d 76 e5 09 00 e8 e9 ef 01 00 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 48 8d 05 69 3b 0d 00 8b 00 85 c0 75 13 31 c0 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 57 c3 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 83 ec 28 48 89 54 [ 774.575151] RSP: 002b:00007ffe5092d848 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000000 [ 774.575161] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00005630bdfb1330 RCX: 00007fbc7c715871 [ 774.575168] RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: 00007ffe5092d8e0 RDI: 0000000000000003 [ 774.575175] RBP: 00007fbc7c7e5560 R08: 0000000000000003 R09: 00007fbc7c7e43b0 [ 774.575182] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000001000 [ 774.575190] R13: 00007ffe5092d8e0 R14: 0000000000000d68 R15: 00007fbc7c7e4960 [ 774.575199] Modules linked in: w83627ehf hwmon_vid snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_generic snd_hda_intel snd_intel_dspcfg snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcsp snd_hda_core ir_rc6_decoder rc_rc6_mce uas r8169 mceusb snd_pcm iTCO_wdt rc_core snd_timer iTCO_vendor_support realtek snd libphy soundcore i2c_i801 lpc_ich parport_pc mfd_core parport coretemp hwmon autofs4 [ 774.575247] CR2: 0000000000000000 [ 774.575254] ---[ end trace 607462057ab8a988 ]--- [ 774.575264] RIP: 0010:w83627ehf_read_string+0x27/0x70 [w83627ehf] [ 774.575273] Code: 00 00 00 55 53 48 8d 64 24 f0 83 fa 15 48 8b 5f 78 75 29 83 fe 01 75 24 48 63 c9 48 8b 6b 58 48 83 f9 03 77 24 0f b6 44 0b 50 <48> 8b 44 c5 00 49 89 00 48 8d 64 24 10 5b 31 c0 5d c3 48 8d 64 24 [ 774.575287] RSP: 0018:ffffb95980657df8 EFLAGS: 00010293 [ 774.575294] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff96caaa7f5218 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 774.575301] RDX: 0000000000000015 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff96caa736ec08 [ 774.575308] RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffffb95980657e20 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 774.575316] R10: ffff96caaa635cc0 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff96caa9f7cf00 [ 774.575323] R13: ffff96caa9ec3d00 R14: ffff96caa9ec3d28 R15: ffff96caa9ec3d40 [ 774.575331] FS: 00007fbc7c4e2740(0000) GS:ffff96caabc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 774.575340] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 774.575347] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000129d58000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 -- Meelis Roos <mroos@xxxxxxxx>
