Subject: [PATCH 1/3] platform/x86/intel/pmt: Fix NULL dereference when reading crashlog data
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 15:03:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001220351.1592138-2-david.e.box@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001220351.1592138-1-david.e.box@linux.intel.com>
Commit 353042d54d82 ("platform/x86/intel/vsec: Switch exported helpers from
pci_dev to device") changed intel_pmt_read() to pass entry->ep->dev to
pmt_telem_read_mmio() in place of entry->pcidev. entry->ep is only
allocated by the telemetry namespace's pmt_add_endpoint() hook. Crashlog
entries never get one, so any read() of a crashlog sysfs data file
dereferences a NULL pointer.
Use the intel_vsec_device parent device instead. The PMT class device is a
child of the auxiliary device, so derive it the same way
intel_pmt_attr_visible() does. This is the same device telemetry stored in
ep->dev, so behavior for telemetry and any read_telem() callback is
unchanged.
