Subject: [PATCH v2] cpupower/debug/i386: check mmap return value in main
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 09:31:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717013125.974-1-yanlonglong@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <592b00fd-d529-4373-a733-d9f53d225540@kernel.org>

The return value of mmap() is not checked. On failure mmap() returns
MAP_FAILED, not NULL. If mmap() fails, the subsequent for-loop
dereferences the invalid pointer (MAP_FAILED), causing a segfault.

Add a check for MAP_FAILED after mmap(), consistent with the existing
error handling style for open() in the same function.

Changes in v2:
- Remove trailing whitespace and blank row

Fixes: 7fe2f6399a84 ("cpupowerutils - cpufrequtils extended with quite some features")
