This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/traps: improve panic message for translation-specification exception to the 5.17-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-traps-improve-panic-message-for-translation-spe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 556364e3b1061458ca728653061b4b157877f6d8 Author: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 16 19:13:20 2022 +0100 s390/traps: improve panic message for translation-specification exception [ Upstream commit f09354ffd84eef3c88efa8ba6df05efe50cfd16a ] There are many different types of translation exceptions but only a translation-specification exception leads to a kernel panic since it indicates corrupted page tables, which must never happen. Improve the panic message so it is a bit more obvious what this is about.
