The cooling levels\narray is not removed in order to prevent the fans going below 20% PWM,\nwhich would cause them to get stuck at 0% PWM.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in thermal_cooling_device_stats_update+0x271/0x290\nRead of size 4 at addr ffff8881052f7bf8 by task kworker/0:0/5\n\nCPU: 0 PID: 5 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc3-custom-45935-gce1adf704b14 #122\nHardware name: Mellanox Technologies Ltd. \"MSN2410-CB2FO\"/\"SA000874\", BIOS 4.6.5 03/08/2016\nWorkqueue: events_freezable_power_ thermal_zone_device_check\nCall Trace:\n dump_stack_lvl+0x8b/0xb3\n print_address_description.constprop.0+0x1f/0x140\n kasan_report.cold+0x7f/0x11b\n thermal_cooling_device_stats_update+0x271/0x290\n __thermal_cdev_update+0x15e/0x4e0\n thermal_cdev_update+0x9f/0xe0\n step_wise_throttle+0x770/0xee0\n thermal_zone_device_update+0x3f6/0xdf0\n process_one_work+0xa42/0x1770\n worker_thread+0x62f/0x13e0\n kthread+0x3ee/0x4e0\n ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30\n\nAllocated by task 1:\n kasan_save_stack+0x1b/0x40\n __kasan_kmalloc+0x7c/0x90\n thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs+0x153/0x2c0\n __thermal_cooling_device_register.part.0+0x25b/0x9c0\n thermal_cooling_device_register+0xb3/0x100\n mlxsw_thermal_init+0x5c5/0x7e0\n __mlxsw_core_bus_device_register+0xcb3/0x19c0\n mlxsw_core_bus_device_register+0x56/0xb0\n mlxsw_pci_probe+0x54f/0x710\n local_pci_probe+0xc6/0x170\n pci_device_probe+0x2b2/0x4d0\n really_probe+0x293/0xd10\n __driver_probe_device+0x2af/0x440\n driver_probe_device+0x51/0x1e0\n __driver_attach+0x21b/0x530\n bus_for_each_dev+0x14c/0x1d0\n bus_add_driver+0x3ac/0x650\n driver_register+0x241/0x3d0\n mlxsw_sp_module_init+0xa2/0x174\n do_one_initcall+0xee/0x5f0\n kernel_init_freeable+0x45a/0x4de\n kernel_init+0x1f/0x210\n ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30\n\nThe buggy address belongs to the object at ffff8881052f7800\n which belongs to the cache kmalloc-1k of size 1024\nThe buggy address is located 1016 bytes inside of\n 1024-byte region [ffff8881052f7800, ffff8881052f7c00)\nThe buggy address belongs to the page:\npage:0000000052355272 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x1052f0\nhead:0000000052355272 order:3 compound_mapcount:0 compound_pincount:0\nflags: 0x200000000010200(slab|head|node=0|zone=2)\nraw: 0200000000010200 ffffea0005034800 0000000300000003 ffff888100041dc0\nraw: 0000000000000000 0000000000100010 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000\npage dumped because: kasan: bad access detected\n\nMemory state around the buggy address:\n ffff8881052f7a80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n ffff8881052f7b00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n>ffff8881052f7b80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n ^\n ffff8881052f7c00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n ffff8881052f7c80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n\n[2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/9aca37cb-1629-5c67-\n---truncated---", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "a50c1e35650b929500bd89be61c89d95a267ce56", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "ae0993739e14a102d506aa09e11b0065f3144f10" }, { "version": "a50c1e35650b929500bd89be61c89d95a267ce56", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "e59d839743b50cb1d3f42a786bea48cc5621d254" }, { "version": "a50c1e35650b929500bd89be61c89d95a267ce56", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "df8e58716afb3bee2b59de66b1ba1033f2e26303" }, { "version": "a50c1e35650b929500bd89be61c89d95a267ce56", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "332fdf951df8b870e3da86b122ae304e2aabe88c" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "4.10", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "4.10" }, { "version": "5.4.155", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.75", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.14.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.14.*" }, { "version": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
