Subject: [merged] dax-device-defer-publishing-the-dynamic-pgmap.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 14:56:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929215608.60BEE1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: dax/device: defer publishing the dynamic pgmap
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dax-device-defer-publishing-the-dynamic-pgmap.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: dax/device: defer publishing the dynamic pgmap
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 19:47:36 +0800

The dynamic device-dax probe path publishes its devm-allocated pgmap
before several operations that can still fail.  If one of them fails,
devres frees the pgmap while dev_dax->pgmap remains non-NULL.  A later
bind then fails the dynamic-dax invariant check and leaves the device
unusable until its region is recreated.

Defer assigning dev_dax->pgmap until the final devm action has been
installed and probe can no longer fail.  A failed probe then never
publishes the temporary pgmap.
