This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/mem_detect: fix detect_memory() error handling to the 6.2-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-mem_detect-fix-detect_memory-error-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5463ef99c75ada97da928503404f86c23046cd6e Author: Vasily Gorbik <gor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 27 14:03:07 2023 +0100 s390/mem_detect: fix detect_memory() error handling [ Upstream commit 3400c35a4090704e6c465449616ab7e67a9209e7 ] Currently if for some reason sclp_early_read_info() fails, sclp_early_get_memsize() will not set max_physmem_end and it will stay uninitialized. Any garbage value other than 0 will lead to detect_memory() taking wrong path or returning a garbage value as max_physmem_end. To avoid that simply initialize max_physmem_end.
