[PATCH v2 1/3] thermal: hwmon: Fix critical temperature attribute removal
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 07:54:58 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Since the return value of thermal_zone_crit_temp_valid() depends on
the behavior of the thermal zone .get_crit_temp() callback which
may change over time in theory, thermal_remove_hwmon_sysfs() may
attempt to remove a critical temperature attribute that has not
been created, passing a pointer to an uninitialized attribute
structure to device_remove_file().
To avoid that, set a flag in struct thermal_hwmon_temp after creating
a critical temperature attribute and use the value of that flag to
decide whether or not the attribute needs to be removed.
Fixes: e8db5d6736a7 ("thermal: hwmon: Make the check for critical temp valid consistent")
