mainlining shenanigans
eb8257a121
On pseries LPAR when an empty slot is assigned to partition OR in single
LPAR mode, kdump kernel crashes during issuing PHB reset.
In the kdump scenario, we traverse all PHBs and issue reset using the
pe_config_addr of the first child device present under each PHB. However
the code assumes that none of the PHB slots can be empty and uses
list_first_entry() to get the first child device under the PHB. Since
list_first_entry() expects the list to be non-empty, it returns an
invalid pci_dn entry and ends up accessing NULL phb pointer under
pci_dn->phb causing kdump kernel crash.
This patch fixes the below kdump kernel crash by skipping empty slots:
audit: initializing netlink subsys (disabled)
thermal_sys: Registered thermal governor 'fair_share'
thermal_sys: Registered thermal governor 'step_wise'
cpuidle: using governor menu
pstore: Registered nvram as persistent store backend

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
