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 i2c_au1550_remove to release the region. The field ioarea is not used for anything else. 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-au1550.c | 12 +++++------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-au1550.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-au1550.c index 532828b..2ec78d7 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-au1550.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-au1550.c @@ -389,13 +389,12 @@ i2c_au1550_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) goto out; } - priv->ioarea = request_mem_region(r->start, resource_size(r), - pdev->name); - if (!priv->ioarea) { + if (!request_mem_region(r->start, resource_size(r), pdev->name)) { ret = -EBUSY; goto out_mem; } + priv->ioarea = r; priv->psc_base = CKSEG1ADDR(r->start); priv->xfer_timeout = 200; priv->ack_timeout = 200; @@ -418,8 +417,7 @@ i2c_au1550_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) i2c_au1550_disable(priv); - release_resource(priv->ioarea); - kfree(priv->ioarea); + release_mem_region(r->start, resource_size(r)); out_mem: kfree(priv); out: @@ -430,12 +428,12 @@ static int __devexit i2c_au1550_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct i2c_au1550_data *priv = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); + struct resource *r = priv->ioarea; platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL); i2c_del_adapter(&priv->adap); i2c_au1550_disable(priv); - release_resource(priv->ioarea); - kfree(priv->ioarea); + release_mem_region(r->start, resource_size(r)); kfree(priv); 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
