Currently, if __region_intersects() finds any overlapped but unmatched resource, it walks the descendant resource tree to check for overlapped and matched descendant resources. This is achieved using for_each_resource(), which iterates not only the descendant tree, but also subsequent sibling trees in certain scenarios. While this doesn't introduce bugs, it makes code hard to be understood and potentially inefficient. So, the patch renames next_resource() to __next_resource(), and makes it possible to only traverse the subtree under the specified resource. Test shows that this avoids unnecessary resource tree walking in __region_intersects(). For the example resource tree as follows, X | A----D----E | B--C if 'A' is the overlapped but unmatched resource, original kernel iterates 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E' when it walks the descendant tree. While the patched kernel iterates only 'B', 'C'. It appears even better to revise for_each_resource() to traverse the resource subtree under "_root" only. But that will cause "_root" to be evaluated twice, which I don't find a good way to eliminate. Thanks David Hildenbrand for providing a good resource tree example.
