In testing Dynamic Capacity Device (DCD) support, a lockdep splat revealed an ABBA issue between the memory notifiers and the DCD extent processing code.[0] Changing the lock ordering within DCD proved difficult because regions must be stable while searching for the proper region and then the device lock must be held to properly notify the DAX region driver of memory changes. Dan points out in the thread that notifiers should be able to trust that it is safe to access static data. Region data is static once the device is realized and until it's destruction. Thus it is better to manage the notifiers within the region driver. Remove the need for a lock by ensuring the notifiers are active only during the region's lifetime. Furthermore, remove cxl_region_nid() because resource can't be NULL while the region is stable.

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 reStructuredText 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.
