Subject: [PATCH 0/2] s390/ipl: Fix missing re-IPL parm blocks handling in dump paths
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:06:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c00-02.ttjpfvt@ub.hpns> (raw)
HMC FTP boot and QEMU direct kernel boot do not provide an IPL parameter
block. This can lead to NULL pointer dereferences during kdump and
stand-alone dump processing.
Fix the kdump and stand-alone dump paths separately. kdump continues
without a re-IPL parameter block, while the stand-alone dumper completes
the dump and halts.
