If cur_state for the powerclamp cooling device is set to the default
minimum state of 0, without setting first to cur_state > 0, this results
in NULL pointer access.
This NULL pointer access happens in the powercap core idle-inject
function idle_inject_set_duration() as there is no NULL check for
idle_inject_device pointer. This pointer must be allocated by calling
idle_inject_register() or idle_inject_register_full().
In the function powerclamp_set_cur_state(), idle_inject_device pointer
is allocated only when the cur_state > 0. But setting 0 without changing
to any other state, idle_inject_set_duration() will be called with a
NULL idle_inject_device pointer.
To address this, just return from powerclamp_set_cur_state() if the
current cooling device state is the same as the last one. Since the
power-up default cooling device state is 0, changing the state to 0
again here will return without calling idle_inject_set_duration().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
