Subject: [PATCH 5.15 142/148] devdax: Fix soft-reservation memory description

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit 67feaba413ec68daf4124e9870878899b4ed9a0e upstream.

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")
