Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] s390/debug: Fix NULL pointer dereference in debug_set_level()
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 15:07:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903130733.709001-2-zaslonko@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903130733.709001-1-zaslonko@linux.ibm.com>

Commit a2cec6863709 ("s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter")
incorrectly removed a null-id check from debug_set_level(), introducing
a possible NULL pointer dereference for debug-API users that put
debug_register() results unchecked into debug_set_level().

Fix this by moving the check from the internal _debug_set_level()
variant back to the external debug_set_level() wrapper.

Fixes: a2cec6863709 ("s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter")
