From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In this case, the calls to request_mem_region, ioremap, and release_mem_region all have a consistent length argument, len, but since in other files (res->end - res->start) + 1, equivalent to resource_size(res), is used for a resource-typed structure res, one could consider whether the same should be done here. The problem was found using the following semantic patch: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct resource *res; @@ - (res->end - res->start) + 1 + resource_size(res) @@ struct resource *res; @@ - res->end - res->start + BAD(resource_size(res)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/vlynq/vlynq.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/vlynq/vlynq.c b/drivers/vlynq/vlynq.c --- a/drivers/vlynq/vlynq.c 2009-06-24 21:18:50.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/vlynq/vlynq.c 2009-07-04 21:37:28.000000000 +0200 @@ -703,7 +703,7 @@ static int vlynq_probe(struct platform_d dev->mem_start = mem_res->start; dev->mem_end = mem_res->end; - len = regs_res->end - regs_res->start; + len = resource_size(regs_res); if (!request_mem_region(regs_res->start, len, dev_name(&dev->dev))) { printk(KERN_ERR "%s: Can't request vlynq registers\n", dev_name(&dev->dev)); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
