Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: smartpqi: Use is_kdump_kernel() to check for kdump
The smartpqi driver checks the reset_devices variable to determine
whether special adjustments need to be made for kdump. This has the
effect that after a regular kexec reboot, some driver parameters such as
max_transfer_size are much lower than usual. More importantly, kexec
reboot tests have revealed memory corruption caused by the driver log
being written to system memory after a kexec.
Fix this by testing is_kdump_kernel() rather than reset_devices where
appropriate.
