The quilt patch titled Subject: s390: kexec: initialize kexec_buf struct has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was s390-kexec-initialize-kexec_buf-struct.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: Breno Leitao leitao@debian.org Subject: s390: kexec: initialize kexec_buf struct Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 03:42:23 -0700

The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization. commit bf454ec31add ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly") added a field that is always read but not consistently populated by all architectures. This un-initialized field will contain garbage.

This is also triggering a UBSAN warning when the uninitialized data was accessed:

------------[ cut here ]------------ UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10 load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'

Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are cleanly set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being used.
