Subject: [PATCH] dax/hmem: Fix refcount leak in dax_hmem_probe()
Date:   Sat, 3 Dec 2022 09:58:58 +0000
Message-ID: <20221203095858.612027-1-liuyongqiang13@huawei.com>

Precedence: bulk

We should always call dax_region_put() whenever devm_create_dev_dax()
succeed or fail to avoid refcount leak of dax_region. Move the return
value check after dax_region_put().

Fixes: c01044cc8191 ("ACPI: HMAT: refactor hmat_register_target_device to hmem_register_device")
