Hi Andrew,

I notice that you should update the patch you have in your tree
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/nvdimm-pmem-fix-leak-on-dax_add_host-failure.patch)
with this updated version which includes additional Reviewed-by tags and
removes unneeded context that appears to be taken from the previous cover
letter.

Following your request, I have extracted this patch from the series.

Thanks,

Mathieu


out_cleanup_dax:
         kill_dax(pmem->dax_dev);
         put_dax(pmem->dax_dev);
