[PATCH] dax/bus: Upgrade resource conflict message to dev_err() in alloc_dax_region()
From: Tomasz Wolski
Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 05:40:19 EST
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.
