In this case, reipl_type_init()\nselects IPL_TYPE_UNKNOWN, and reipl_block_actual remains NULL.\n\nkdump passes the re-IPL parameter block to the dump kernel through\nos_info. Before commit 3b9678472bab (\"s390/ipl: correct kdump reipl\nblock checksum calculation\"), the os_info entry was added only for\nIPL types which initialized reipl_block_actual. That commit moved the\nos_info update to machine_crash_shutdown(), making it unconditional. As\na result, set_os_info_reipl_block() dereferences reipl_block_actual for\nIPL_TYPE_UNKNOWN. This may happen to work by chance when address zero\ncontains readable lowcore data and the resulting empty os_info entry is\nignored by the dump kernel.\n\nSkip the os_info update when no re-IPL parameter block is available.\nKdump then collect the dump and reboot without setting re-IPL parameter\nblock.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-14T13:26:00.872+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T09:18:53.762+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
