This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled s390/zcore: release dump save area on restart or power down to the 5.10-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-zcore-release-dump-save-area-on-restart-or-powe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5fd97627c54f6d4d231bb841acca75fc3f1937f5 Author: Alexander Egorenkov <egorenar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 25 14:28:52 2021 +0100 s390/zcore: release dump save area on restart or power down [ Upstream commit dabdfac0e85c8c1e811b10c08742f49285e78a17 ] The zFCP/NVMe standalone dumper is supposed to release the dump save area resource as soon as possible but might fail to do so, for instance, if it crashes. To avoid this situation, register a reboot notifier and ensure the dump save area resource is released on reboot or power down.
