[merged mm-stable] dax-kmem-extract-hotplug-hotremove-helper-functions.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: dax/kmem: extract hotplug/hotremove helper functions
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dax-kmem-extract-hotplug-hotremove-helper-functions.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: dax/kmem: extract hotplug/hotremove helper functions
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 11:45:02 -0400

Refactor kmem _probe() _remove() by extracting init, cleanup, hotplug, and
hot-remove logic into separate helper functions:

  - dax_kmem_init_resources: inits IO_RESOURCE w/ request_mem_region
  - dax_kmem_cleanup_resources: cleans up initialized IO_RESOURCE
  - dax_kmem_do_hotplug: handles memory region reservation and adding
  - dax_kmem_do_hotremove: handles memory removal and resource cleanup

This is a pure refactoring with no functional change.  The helpers will
enable future extensions to support more granular control over memory
hotplug operations.

We need to split hotplug/hotunplug and init/cleanup in order to have the
resources available for hot-add.  Otherwise, when probe occurs, the dax
devices are never added to sysfs because the resources are never
registered.

Detaching hotunplug/cleanup allows us to re-use the hotunplug code without
destroying the underlying resources.
