Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix loading of kernel + initramfs with kexec_file_load()
Date: Wed, 22 May 2019 19:01:58 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190522220158.18479-1-bauerman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Commit b6664ba42f14 ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()")
changed kexec_add_buffer() to skip searching for a memory location if
kexec_buf.mem is already set, and use the address that is there.

In powerpc code we reuse a kexec_buf variable for loading both the kernel
and the initramfs by resetting some of the fields between those uses, but
not mem. This causes kexec_add_buffer() to try to load the kernel at the
same address where initramfs will be loaded, which is naturally rejected:

  # kexec -s -l --initrd initramfs vmlinuz
  kexec_file_load failed: Invalid argument

Setting the mem field before every call to kexec_add_buffer() fixes this
regression.

Fixes: b6664ba42f14 ("s390, kexec_file: drop arch_kexec_mem_walk()")
