Subject: [PATCH 6/9] dax/hmem: Fix singleton confusion between dax_hmem_work and hmem devices
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:28:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327052821.440749-7-dan.j.williams@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327052821.440749-1-dan.j.williams@intel.com>
dax_hmem (ab)uses a platform device to allow for a module to autoload in
the presence of "Soft Reserved" resources. The dax_hmem driver had no
dependencies on the "hmem_platform" device being a singleton until the
recent "dax_hmem vs dax_cxl" takeover solution.
Replace the layering violation of dax_hmem_work assuming that there will
never be more than one "hmem_platform" device associated with a global work
item with a dax_hmem local workqueue that can theoretically support any
number of hmem_platform devices.
Fixup the reference counting to only pin the device while it is live in the
queue.
