This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/kexec: fix return code handling to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: s390-kexec-fix-return-code-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e4bdc48ec8073225f96ea345df4a28888c455a1c Author: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 16 11:06:38 2021 +0100 s390/kexec: fix return code handling [ Upstream commit 20c76e242e7025bd355619ba67beb243ba1a1e95 ] kexec_file_add_ipl_report ignores that ipl_report_finish may fail and can return an error pointer instead of a valid pointer. Fix this and simplify by returning NULL in case of an error and let the only caller handle this case.
