It was trying to open '/dev/ipmi0', but as no entry in aux_dir, it returned NULL from 'idr_find()'. This drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor() should have done a check on this, but had failed to do it.
I think the better question is, *why* does the idr_find() return NULL? I don't think it should, under any circumstances. I fear adding the check here papers over some other problem, taking us further away from the root cause.
Also, can you reproduce this on a recent upstream kernel? The aux device nodes were introduced in kernel v4.6. Whatever you reproduced on v3.10 is pretty much irrelevant for upstream.
BR, Jani.
I have not been able to reproduce this problem.
mknod /dev/foo c <drm_dp_aux major> 255 cat /dev/foo
should do it.
How do I determine <drm_dp_aux major>?
