[ Upstream commit70aab281e1] The reference counting of dax_region objects is needlessly complicated, has lead to confusion [1], and has hidden a bug [2]. Towards cleaning up that mess introduce alloc_dev_dax_id() to minimize the holding of a dax_region reference to only what dev_dax_release() needs, the dax_region->ida. Part of the reason for the mess was the design to dereference a dax_region in all cases in free_dev_dax_id() even if the id was statically assigned by the upper level dax_region driver. Remove the need to call "is_static(dax_region)" by tracking whether the id is dynamic directly in the dev_dax instance itself. With that flag the dax_region pinning and release per dev_dax instance can move to alloc_dev_dax_id() and free_dev_dax_id() respectively. A follow-on cleanup address the unnecessary references in the dax_region setup and drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
