There's a space allocated for cooling_device_stats_attr_group within co-
oling_device_attr_groups. This space is shared by all cooling devices.

If not clear this space before cooling_device_stats_attr_group is initi-
alized, the next cooling device will still create stats sysfs file node.
At this time, read or write related nodes will cause kernel crash.

A bit more of an explanation here wouldn't hurt IMV.  In particular,
what does "the next cooling device" mean and what are "related nodes"?

The comment is a bit too vague IMO.  In particular, what slot do you mean?

The NULL check above is redundant (it can be cleared even if it is
NULL already) and it all can be done in one code line.

Ok, thank you. I will pay attention to it.

There are some cooling devices in thermal management. During the
registration of these
cooling devices, they will create "stats" sysfs.

s9863a:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2 # cd stats/
s9863a:/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/stats # ls
reset  time_in_state_ms  total_trans  trans_table

Reading or writing these property nodes may cause kernel_crash.
For example, cat time_in_state_ms caused a crash because stats is NULL.

The reason why stats is NULL is "failed to get_max_state in
cooling_device_stats_setup()", and
then cooling_device_stats_setup() returned directly without
initializing stats structure.

static void cooling_device_stats_setup(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
{
        //.....
        if (cdev->ops->get_max_state(cdev, &states))
                return;
        //.....
        stats = kzalloc(var, GFP_KERNEL);
        //...
        /* Fill the empty slot left in cooling_device_attr_groups */
        var = ARRAY_SIZE(cooling_device_attr_groups) - 2;
        cooling_device_attr_groups[var] = &cooling_device_stats_attr_group;
}

static ssize_t
time_in_state_ms_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,
     char *buf)
{
        //......
        spin_lock(&stats->lock); // stats is NULL. Failed to get lock here.
        //....
        spin_unlock(&stats->lock);

        return len;
}
The same as reset_store(), trans_table_show(), total_trans_show().

Actually, if succeed to get max state, it will not crash when cat
time_in_state_ms. But it is worth
noting that even if one of the cooling devices failed to get max
state(which means stats structure
will not be initialized), the stats sysfs was still created.

The property nodes of stats sysfs are created according to the
attribute group, like:

static const struct attribute_group *cooling_device_attr_groups[] = {
        &cooling_device_attr_group,
        NULL, /* Space allocated for cooling_device_stats_attr_group */
        NULL,                                   |
};                                                   |
                                                     v
There's a space allocated for cooling_device_stats_attr_group within
cooling_device_attr_groups. This space is shared by all cooling
devices.

static struct attribute *cooling_device_stats_attrs[] = {
        &dev_attr_total_trans.attr,
        &dev_attr_time_in_state_ms.attr,
        &dev_attr_reset.attr,
        &dev_attr_trans_table.attr,
        NULL
};

static const struct attribute_group cooling_device_stats_attr_group = {
        .attrs = cooling_device_stats_attrs,
        .name = "stats"
};

Suppose there are two cooling devices: cooling_device0 and cooling_device1.
The stats structure of cooling_device0 is firstly initialized
successfully, the space allocated for cooling_device_stats_attr_group
will be filled.
And then cooling_device1 fails to initialize stats structure, the
space now still remains the cooling_device_stats_attr_group of
cooling_device0.
The initialization has failed, so why create sysfs? It is
inappropriate to create the sysfs at this time.

Well, I will remove it. (Slot means a space allocated for
cooling_device_stats_attr_group in cooling_device_attr_groups[])

OK. I will fix it in the next patchset.
