s390 kdump reipl implementation relies on os_info kernel structure residing in old memory being dumped. os_info contains reipl block, which is used (if valid) by the kdump kernel for reipl parameters. The problem is that the reipl block and its checksum inside os_info is updated only when /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type is written. This sets an offset of a reipl block for "reipl_type" and re-calculates reipl block checksum. Any further alteration of values under /sys/firmware/reipl/{reipl_type}/ without subsequent write to /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type lead to incorrect os_info reipl block checksum. In such a case kdump kernel ignores it and reboots using default logic. To fix this, os_info reipl block update is moved right before kdump execution.
