This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O to the 6.10-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-sclp-prevent-release-of-buffer-in-i-o.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3abb325358c8ba00fd9fdcdf21bcb33da7e2252e Author: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 20 14:20:27 2024 +0200 s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O [ Upstream commit bf365071ea92b9579d5a272679b74052a5643e35 ] When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original operation at a later time. Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware malfunction.
