Subject: [PATCH] scsi: pm8001: reject non-fatal dump when controller is crashed
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 15:46:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416154650.415624-1-sagar.biradar@microchip.com> (raw)

From: Kumar Meiyappan <kumar.meiyappan@microchip.com>

pm80xx_get_non_fatal_dump() can be called even after the controller
has entered a fatal error state. In that case the forensic memory
contents are not safe to access for a non-fatal dump request,
and attempting to do so can trigger a call trace.

Check controller_fatal_error before reading the non-fatal dump buffer
and return -EINVAL when the controller is already in a crashed state.

This prevents non-fatal dump collection from running in an invalid
controller state.
