Subject: [PATCH] dax/bus: Upgrade resource conflict message to dev_err() in alloc_dax_region()
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 11:32:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514093208.13110-1-tomasz.wolski@fujitsu.com> (raw)
The dax_region resource conflict in alloc_dax_region() indicates a
serious configuration problem — two subsystems (e.g. dax_hmem and
dax_cxl) are attempting to register overlapping address ranges. This is
not a transient or debug-level condition; it represents a genuine
resource conflict that an administrator needs to be aware of.
Promote the log level from dev_dbg() to dev_err() so that the conflict
is visible by default without requiring dynamic debug to be enabled.
