From: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e78e1fdb282726beaf88aa75943682217e6ded0e upstream. Connecting master to an output port when GTH driver module is not loaded triggers a NULL dereference: > RIP: 0010:intel_th_set_output+0x35/0x70 [intel_th] > Call Trace: > ? sth_stm_link+0x12/0x20 [intel_th_sth] > stm_source_link_store+0x164/0x270 [stm_core] > dev_attr_store+0x17/0x30 > sysfs_kf_write+0x3e/0x50 > kernfs_fop_write+0xda/0x1b0 > __vfs_write+0x1b/0x40 > vfs_write+0xb9/0x1a0 > ksys_write+0x67/0xe0 > __x64_sys_write+0x1a/0x20 > do_syscall_64+0x57/0x1d0 > entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Make sure the module in question is loaded and return an error if not.
