This looks like the same problem Tong reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210321055109.322496-1-ztong0001@xxxxxxxxx I responded to Tong in that thread, and my response to this patch is basically the same: I think "thread_finished" is a hack and we can do better. > Fix this by set 'thread_finished' to be true by default. > > This log reveals it: It's good to have the essential details from the log, but most of this is not relevant to the problem and should be omitted. > BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 > PGD 0 P4D 0 > Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI > CPU: 5 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.12.4-g70e7f0549188-dirty #74 > Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59-gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 > RIP: 0010:kthread_stop+0x51/0x380 > Code: b5 4e 10 00 65 8b 05 46 da e1 7e 89 c0 48 0f a3 05 5c c1 ef 05 0f 82 68 01 00 00 e8 99 4e 10 00 4c 8d 6b 28 41 bc 01 00 00 00 <f0> 44 0f c1 63 28 45 85 e4 0f 84 af 02 00 00 e8 7b 4e 10 00 45 85 > RSP: 0000:ffffc90000017ba8 EFLAGS: 00010293 > RAX: ffff888100850000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 > RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff811f3b37 RDI: ffffffff86259ca6 > RBP: ffffc90000017bc8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 > R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 00000000ffffffff R12: 0000000000000001 > R13: 0000000000000028 R14: ffff88810160a0c8 R15: 0000000000000000 > FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88817b200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 > CR2: 0000000000000028 CR3: 0000000006a32000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 > Call Trace: > cpci_stop_thread+0x1a/0x30 > cpci_hp_unregister_controller+0x43/0xc0 > zt5550_hc_init_one+0x67d/0x720 > local_pci_probe+0x4f/0xb0 > pci_device_probe+0x169/0x230 > ? pci_device_remove+0x110/0x110 > really_probe+0x283/0x650 > driver_probe_device+0x89/0x1d0 > ? mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20 > device_driver_attach+0x68/0x70 > __driver_attach+0x11c/0x1b0 > ? device_driver_attach+0x70/0x70 > bus_for_each_dev+0xbb/0x110 > ? rdinit_setup+0x45/0x45 > driver_attach+0x27/0x30 > bus_add_driver+0x1eb/0x2a0 > driver_register+0xa9/0x180 > __pci_register_driver+0x7c/0x90 > ? cpci_hotplug_init+0x1c/0x1c > zt5550_init+0x66/0x91 > do_one_initcall+0x7f/0x3d0 > ? rdinit_setup+0x45/0x45 > ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x4f/0x80 > kernel_init_freeable+0x2d7/0x329 > ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 > kernel_init+0x18/0x190 > ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 > ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 > ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 > Modules linked in: > Dumping ftrace buffer: > (ftrace buffer empty) > CR2: 0000000000000028 > ---[ end trace ef108f49fd26a20c ]--- > RIP: 0010:kthread_stop+0x51/0x380 > Code: b5 4e 10 00 65 8b 05 46 da e1 7e 89 c0 48 0f a3 05 5c c1 ef 05 0f 82 68 01 00 00 e8 99 4e 10 00 4c 8d 6b 28 41 bc 01 00 00 00 <f0> 44 0f c1 63 28 45 85 e4 0f 84 af 02 00 00 e8 7b 4e 10 00 45 85 > RSP: 0000:ffffc90000017ba8 EFLAGS: 00010293 > RAX: ffff888100850000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 > RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff811f3b37 RDI: ffffffff86259ca6 > RBP: ffffc90000017bc8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 > R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 00000000ffffffff R12: 0000000000000001 > R13: 0000000000000028 R14: ffff88810160a0c8 R15: 0000000000000000 > FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88817b200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 > CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 > CR2: 0000000000000028 CR3: 0000000006a32000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 > Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception > Dumping ftrace buffer: > (ftrace buffer empty) > Kernel Offset: disabled > Rebooting in 1 seconds.. > > Signed-off-by: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c b/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c > index d0559d2faf50..d527aae4cc60 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpci_hotplug_core.c > @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ static atomic_t extracting; > int cpci_debug; > static struct cpci_hp_controller *controller; > static struct task_struct *cpci_thread; > -static int thread_finished; > +static int thread_finished = 1; > > static int enable_slot(struct hotplug_slot *slot); > static int disable_slot(struct hotplug_slot *slot); > -- > 2.17.6 >
