The "hmem" platform-devices that are created to represent the
platform-advertised "Soft Reserved" memory ranges end up inserting a
resource that causes the iomem_resource tree to look like this:
340000000-43fffffff : hmem.0
340000000-43fffffff : Soft Reserved
340000000-43fffffff : dax0.0
This is because insert_resource() reparents ranges when they completely
intersect an existing range.
This matters because code that uses region_intersects() to scan for a
given IORES_DESC will only check that top-level 'hmem.0' resource and
not the 'Soft Reserved' descendant.
So, to support EINJ (via einj_error_inject()) to inject errors into
memory hosted by a dax-device, be sure to describe the memory as
IORES_DESC_SOFT_RESERVED. This is a follow-on to:
commit b13a3e5fd40b ("ACPI: APEI: Fix _EINJ vs EFI_MEMORY_SP")
...that fixed EINJ support for "Soft Reserved" ranges in the first
instance.
Fixes: 262b45ae3ab4 ("x86/efi: EFI soft reservation to E820 enumeration")

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.
