This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed- bionic'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

[Regression Potential] * The regression potential can be considered as very low since it only affects the s390x platform * and there it only affects the (ccW) qeth (OSA) network devices * and again this happens if the CHPID is offlined, which usually doesn't happen during regular operation. [Other Info] * The patch was upstream accepted with kernel 4.17, hence it's already part of cosmic, disco and eoan and proven there to work. * It needs to be applied to kernel 4.15 to land in 18.04 GA and 16.04.5 HWE. _________________________ Description: qdio: clear intparm during shutdown Symptom: Crash in qeth_irq() with "Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space". Problem: During shutdown, qdio returns its ccw device back to control by qeth - but doesn't reset the interrupt parameter on the device. If qdio_shutdown() failed to terminate its long-running IO on the ccw_device, qeth will subsequently do so. In this case the IRQ for the IO completion is presented to qeth_irq() with the _old_ interrupt parameter, which gets mis-interpreted as a valid qeth_cmd_buffer pointer. Dereferencing this bogus pointer in qeth_release_buffer() triggers the crash. Solution: When returning the ccw device in qdio_shutdown(), also reset its interrupt parameter. Reproduction: Offline an OSA CHPID with multiple active qeth interfaces.
