[PATCH V3 4/9] dax/fsdev: clear dev_dax->pgmap on probe failure
From: John Groves
Date: Sat May 30 2026 - 12:55:48 EST
From: John Groves <John@xxxxxxxxxx>
Clear dev_dax->pgmap on probe failure for dynamic devices. After the dynamic
path sets dev_dax->pgmap, if a later probe step fails, devres frees the
devm_kzalloc'd pgmap but leaves dev_dax->pgmap dangling. Subsequent probe
attempts would hit the "dynamic-dax with pre-populated page map" check and fail
permanently. Use a goto cleanup to NULL dev_dax->pgmap on error.
Fixes: d5406bd458b0a ("dax: add fsdev.c driver for fs-dax on character dax")
