[PATCH 4.8 31/37] device-dax: check devm_nsio_enable() return value
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 30 2016 - 04:32:34 EST
4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 6a84fb4b4e439a8ef0ce19ec7e7661ad76f655c9 upstream.
If the dax_pmem driver is passed a resource that is already busy the
driver probe attempt should fail with a message like the following:
dax_pmem dax0.1: could not reserve region [mem 0x100000000-0x11fffffff]
However, if we do not catch the error we crash for the obvious reason of
accessing memory that is not mapped.
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90020001000
IP: [<ffffffff81496712>] __memcpy+0x12/0x20
