commit c8f40a0bccefd613748d080147469a4652d6e74c upstream.
Commit fb08a1908cb1 ("dax: simplify the dax_device <-> gendisk
association") introduced new logic for gendisk association, requiring
drivers to explicitly call dax_add_host() and dax_remove_host().
For dcssblk driver, some dax_remove_host() calls were missing, e.g. in
device remove path. The commit also broke error handling for out_dax case
in device add path, resulting in an extra put_device() w/o the previous
get_device() in that case.
This lead to stale xarray entries after device add / remove cycles. In the
case when a previously used struct gendisk pointer (xarray index) would be
used again, because blk_alloc_disk() happened to return such a pointer, the
xa_insert() in dax_add_host() would fail and go to out_dax, doing the extra
put_device() in the error path. In combination with an already flawed error
handling in dcssblk (device_register() cleanup), which needs to be
addressed in a separate patch, this resulted in a missing device_del() /
klist_del(), and eventually in the kernel crash with list_add corruption on
a subsequent device_add() / klist_add().
Fix this by adding the missing dax_remove_host() calls, and also move the
put_device() in the error path to restore the previous logic.
