Commitb972fdba86("EDAC/ghes: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ghes_edac_register()") didn't clear all the information from the scanned system and, more specifically, left ghes_hw.num_dimms to its previous value. On a second load (CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y), the driver would use the leftover num_dimms value which is not 0 and thus the 0 check in enumerate_dimms() will get bypassed and it would go directly to the pointer deref: d = &hw->dimms[hw->num_dimms]; which is, of course, NULL: #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 7 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.9.0-rc4+ #7 Hardware name: GIGABYTE MZ01-CE1-00/MZ01-CE1-00, BIOS F02 08/29/2018 RIP: 0010:enumerate_dimms.cold+0x7b/0x375 Reset the whole ghes_hw on driver unregister so that no stale values are used on a second system scan.

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.
