Subject: pstore: skip zero size persistent ram buffer in traverse
From: Liu ShuoX <[email protected]>
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.
