This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled thermal: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in of_thermal_ functions to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: thermal-fix-null-pointer-dereferences-in-of_thermal_-functions.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 96cfe05051fd8543cdedd6807ec59a0e6c409195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Subbaraman Narayanamurthy <quic_subbaram@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2021 16:57:07 -0700 Subject: thermal: Fix NULL pointer dereferences in of_thermal_ functions From: Subbaraman Narayanamurthy <quic_subbaram@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 96cfe05051fd8543cdedd6807ec59a0e6c409195 upstream. of_parse_thermal_zones() parses the thermal-zones node and registers a thermal_zone device for each subnode. However, if a thermal zone is consuming a thermal sensor and that thermal sensor device hasn't probed yet, an attempt to set trip_point_*_temp for that thermal zone device can cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it. console:/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone87 # echo 120000 > trip_point_0_temp ... Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 ...
