If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bbf5e443827efd70205a377aa9a3f196e5ace325 Author: Carlos López <clopez@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 15 13:24:34 2024 +0200 s390/dasd: fix error checks in dasd_copy_pair_store() [ Upstream commit 8e64d2356cbc800b4cd0e3e614797f76bcf0cdb8 ] dasd_add_busid() can return an error via ERR_PTR() if an allocation fails. However, two callsites in dasd_copy_pair_store() do not check the result, potentially resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by checking the result with IS_ERR() and returning the error up the stack.
