[PATCH V3 6/9] dax/fsdev: fail probe on invalid pgmap offset
From: John Groves
Date: Sat May 30 2026 - 12:52:48 EST
From: John Groves <John@xxxxxxxxxx>
Convert the WARN_ON to a fatal error when pgmap_phys > phys. This
condition means the remapped region starts after the device's data
region, which is an impossible state. Previously the probe continued
with data_offset=0, leaving virt_addr silently misaligned. Now probe
returns -EINVAL with a diagnostic message.
Fixes: 759455848df0b ("dax: Save the kva from memremap")
