[PATCH RFC 2/4] dax/hmem: Fix refcount leak in dax_hmem_probe()

From: ira . weiny
Date: Fri Jun 02 2023 - 22:09:45 EST


From: Yongqiang Liu <liuyongqiang13@xxxxxxxxxx>

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().
