When a cxl_nvdimm object goes through a ->remove() event (device
physically removed, nvdimm-bridge disabled, or nvdimm device disabled),
then any associated regions must also be disabled. As highlighted by the
cxl-create-region.sh test [1], a single device may host multiple
regions, but the driver was only tracking one region at a time. This
leads to a situation where only the last enabled region per nvdimm
device is cleaned up properly. Other regions are leaked, and this also
causes cxl_memdev reference leaks.
Fix the tracking by allowing cxl_nvdimm objects to track multiple region
associations.

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.
