Subject: [PATCH v2] dax/kmem: account for partial dis-contiguous resource upon removal
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:15:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223201516.1517657-1-dave@stgolabs.net> (raw)
When dev_dax_kmem_probe() partially succeeds (at least one range
is mapped) but a subsequent range fails request_mem_region()
or add_memory_driver_managed(), the probe silently continues,
ultimately returning success, but with the corresponding range
resource NULL'ed out.
dev_dax_kmem_remove() iterates over all dax_device ranges regardless
of if the underlying resource exists. When remove_memory() is
called later, it returns 0 because the memory was never added which
causes dev_dax_kmem_remove() to incorrectly assume the (nonexistent)
resource can be removed and attempts cleanup on a NULL pointer.
Fix this by skipping these ranges altogether, noting that these
cases are considered success, such that the cleanup is still
reached when all actually-added ranges are successfully removed.
