[PATCH] cpufreq/longhaul: handle NULL policy in longhaul_exit
Posted by Dennis Beier 1 month ago
longhaul_exit() was calling cpufreq_cpu_get(0) without checking
for a NULL policy pointer. On some systems, this could lead to a
NULL dereference and a kernel warning or panic.

This patch adds a check using unlikely() and prints a warning
if the policy is NULL, then returns early. Also, the loop variable
is now declared inside the for-loop to match modern kernel style.

Bugzilla: #219962
