Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource. The result of request_mem_region is no longer stored. Instead the field ioarea is used to store a pointer to the resource structure that contains the start address. This is the information that is needed later in nuc900_i2c_remove to release the region. The field ioarea is also printed in some debugging code. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,E; @@ ( *x = request_region(...) | *x = request_mem_region(...) ) ... when != release_region(x) when != x = E * release_resource(x); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- Not compiled due to incompatible architecture. drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nuc900.c | 13 +++++-------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nuc900.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nuc900.c index 7243426..97b16b7 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nuc900.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-nuc900.c @@ -568,15 +568,13 @@ static int __devinit nuc900_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) goto err_clk; } - i2c->ioarea = request_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res), - pdev->name); - - if (i2c->ioarea == NULL) { + if (!request_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res), pdev->name)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "cannot request IO\n"); ret = -ENXIO; goto err_clk; } + i2c->ioarea = res; i2c->regs = ioremap(res->start, resource_size(res)); if (i2c->regs == NULL) { @@ -645,8 +643,7 @@ static int __devinit nuc900_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) iounmap(i2c->regs); err_ioarea: - release_resource(i2c->ioarea); - kfree(i2c->ioarea); + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); err_clk: clk_disable(i2c->clk); @@ -665,6 +662,7 @@ static int __devinit nuc900_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) static int __devexit nuc900_i2c_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct nuc900_i2c *i2c = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + struct resource *res = i2c->ioarea; i2c_del_adapter(&i2c->adap); free_irq(i2c->irq, i2c); @@ -674,8 +672,7 @@ static int __devexit nuc900_i2c_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) iounmap(i2c->regs); - release_resource(i2c->ioarea); - kfree(i2c->ioarea); + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); kfree(i2c); return 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
