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")
