[PATCH] kernel/memremap: Remove stale devres_free() call

From: Oliver O'Halloran
Date: Mon Mar 05 2018 - 23:58:19 EST


devm_memremap_pages() was re-worked in e8d513483300 to take a caller
allocated struct dev_pagemap as a function parameter. A call to
devres_free() was left in the error cleanup path which results in
a kernel panic if the remap fails for some reason. Remove it
to fix the panic and let devm_memremap_pages() fail gracefully.

Fixes: e8d513483300 ("memremap: change devm_memremap_pages interface to use struct dev_pagemap")

Both in-tree users of devm_memremap_pages() embed dev_pagemap into other
structures so this shouldn't cause any leaks. Logan's p2p series does
add one usage that assumes pgmap will be freed on error so that'll
need fixing.
