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