commit8c42dd78dfupstream. Commitf05f62d042("s390/vmem: get rid of memory segment list") reshuffled the call to vmem_add_mapping() in __segment_load(), which now overwrites rc after it was set to contain the segment type code. As result, __segment_load() will now always return 0 on success, which corresponds to the segment type code SEG_TYPE_SW, i.e. a writeable segment. This results in a kernel crash when loading a read-only segment as dcssblk block device, and trying to write to it. Instead of reshuffling code again, make sure to return the segment type on success, and also describe this rather delicate and unexpected logic in the function comment. Also initialize new segtype variable with invalid value, to prevent possible future confusion.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
