[PATCH 3.12 053/122] pstore: skip zero size persistent ram buffer in traverse

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Feb 17 2015 - 06:43:15 EST


From: Liu ShuoX <shuox.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit aa9a4a1edfbd3d223af01db833da2f07850bc655 upstream.

In ramoops_pstore_read, a valid prz pointer with zero size buffer will
break traverse of all persistent ram buffers. The latter buffer might be
lost.
