Subject: [PATCH] cxl/acpi: Check ACPI companion before use
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 20:54:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924125404.923551-1-yaojiale02@163.com> (raw)
Platform drivers can be forced to match devices outside their ID tables
through driver_override. cxl_acpi_probe() assumes that every bound device
has an ACPI companion and dereferences adev->dev.bus without checking the
result of ACPI_COMPANION(). Force-binding cxl_acpi to a platform device
without a companion therefore causes a NULL pointer dereference.
This was reproduced by setting the driver override for the pcspkr platform
device to cxl_acpi and binding it through sysfs:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000280
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
RIP: cxl_acpi_probe+0xf4/0x220
Call Trace:
platform_probe+0x4d/0x80
really_probe+0x106/0x370
device_driver_attach+0x4c/0xa0
bind_store+0xd0/0x100
Commit 2b3a5dabe89e ("platform/surface: acpi-notify: Check ACPI
companion before use") fixed the same force-binding issue in another
platform driver. Check the companion before setting up the CXL root and
return -ENODEV when it is absent.
Fixes: 7d4b5ca2e2cb ("cxl/acpi: Add downstream port data to cxl_port instances")
