This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pstore/ram: Fix error return code in ramoops_probe() to the 6.1-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: pstore-ram-fix-error-return-code-in-ramoops_probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 9735c0b128be391b6dc9e971786d3d880eaa5d97 Author: Wang Yufen <wangyufen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 2 16:22:54 2022 +0800 pstore/ram: Fix error return code in ramoops_probe() [ Upstream commit e1fce564900f8734edf15b87f028c57e14f6e28d ] In the if (dev_of_node(dev) && !pdata) path, the "err" may be assigned a value of 0, so the error return code -EINVAL may be incorrectly set to 0. To fix set valid return code before calling to goto.
