Subject[PATCH 0/1] s390: fix initrd corruption in decompressor with new zstd version
The new version of zstd library integrated in the kernel since v6.2-rc1
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221024202606.404049-1-nickrterrell@gmail.com/
contains commit
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/commit/6a7ede3dfccb
which introduces a side effect for historical usage of __decompress() function,
i.e. not specifying "out_len" parameter and expecting that no writes beyond
uncompressed kernel image are performed. More details are in follow up fix.

From architectures which claim HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD, s390 and MIPS use
__decompress() without specifying "out_len". On s390 this leads to
initrd corruption.

I haven't looked in details for MIPS but I've added Thomas as the
maintainer and MIPS list in Cc.

The follow up fix addresses that for s390.
